ASYNCHRONOUS with OPTIONAL LIVE ELEMENTS:

What would happen if you took one topic or experience and wrote an essay about it as if you were looking through the lens of a kaleidoscope? In my experience, the essay would be very illuminating and the topic would become very compelling! Through concrete writing exercises, craft talks, lectures, and readings, students will master the Kaleidoscope Essay and leave class with at least two strong drafts. We will spend each week studying essays by Emily Bernard, Ryan Van Meter, Scott Russell Sanders, Jennifer Egan, and Lidia Yuknavitch.

Optional LIVE Elements: TBA opening zoom session and closing zoom sessions.
