This is an intensive workshop in writing literature for children of various ages. Students will work on such forms as text for picture books, poetry and nonsense rhymes, and chapters of young adult novels. Critically examining gendered and settler colonial biases that have historically shaped creative writing workshops and the field of children's literature, students will respond to diverse artistic voices on their own terms and manifest self-awareness about their positionality as it relates to the learning environment and the kinds of children's literature they produce.

Prerequisites: ENGL 190 and ENGL 191

Notes:
  • ENGL 292 is an approved Culture and Creative Expression course for Cap Core requirements.
  • For the focus of the course each term, see the "Courses" page on the English Department website. ENGL 218 is recommended.
