Fiction II [Alma Garcia]

This class will build upon craft learned in Fiction I. We’ll review the basics of character, conflict, and plot, then focus on craft elements including point of view, setting, scene, pacing, and dialogue. Students will read published stories weekly, do weekly in-class and take-home writing exercises, lead discussions, and workshop their own drafts (including one full story or story/novel excerpt) in a supportive environment with their teacher and peers.
