Building Great Sentences: Exploring the Writer’s Craft

Great writing starts
with great sentences. In order to help students learn how to write great
sentences, this course will begin by exploring the rudimentary principles that
guide their construction before moving into an in-depth study of the broad range
of both the basic and advanced moves and strategies that writers use to craft these
most important building blocks of prose. The ultimate goal of this course is
not just to help students become comfortable and confident with writing, but also
to excite and inspire them to write well.
