INTRODUCTION
The purpose of Workshop 3 is the same as Workshop 2: To continue applying knowledge and skills in creativity and creative writing craft in developing a story or a poetry collection.
The difference in Workshop 3 is that you have the option of sharing another revision of your creative work from Workshops 1-2, OR a rough draft of your Final Portfolio reflective essay.
WHAT TO DO
The general structure, process, workshop groups, and grading are all the same as in Workshop 2. Complete information and instructions are included in the “Workshop 2 and 3” document below.
Please keep in mind that your creative process should involve:
following through on the discoveries, insights, and decisions that came out of your Workshop 2 experience and other activities in this course.
making alterations with the craft elements we’ve learning about in order to make your work more complete, well-rounded, and nearly finished.
possibly experimenting with craft — taking a calculated risk with a craft element to see how the change will impact your work. (Remember, risk-taking is encouraged in this class, and “mistakes” are OK, provided you learn something valuable from them in the end!)
submitting work to your group members that they will clearly and immediately see as markedly different from your previous draft.
