From The Richard Hugo House in Seattle:
Dear Teachers and other workshop participants,
We're kicking off the new school year with a two-hour presentation by Waverly Fitzgerald on learning craft moves from text models. Hope you'll join us. Remember, these classes are always free and everyone is welcome. (Please be sure to rsvp.)
Also, please note: these classes have moved from Tuesdays to Wednesdays.
WHAT: A free writing class for teachers (geared toward all levels). This is a chance to work on your own writing.
DATE: Wednesday, Sept. 23
TIME: 5-7pm
LOCATION: Richard Hugo House
1634 11th Ave., Seattle, WA 98122
RSVP: writingclassforteachers@gmail.com
DETAILS: Sound, Sentence and Form: Borrowing Moves from the Masters
In this workshop, we'll explore ways you can borrow moves from master writers and apply them to your own writing. During our two hours together, we'll undertake four writing exercises designed to help you explore qualities of language (rhythm, sound, sentence structure) and consider possible forms (story shape and genre). If you have a piece or poem you've been pondering, this is a great opportunity to put it through its paces. You can also bring a master work by a favorite author with you; Examples will be provided if you prefer. Each participant will leave with new writing and story ideas plus four exercises you can use on your own or with your students.
