We’ll be returning to Narnia for the next installment of the “Writing with…” online classes. In Writing with Caspian, we will read through Prince Caspian together and examine how C.S. Lewis achieves his particular kind of magic. Then we’ll apply his techniques to our own writing.
Writing with Caspian includes six 90-minute live lectures* via Zoom, as well as a dedicated online forum for discussion and writing exercises.
*Recordings of the lectures will also be available for learners who can’t attend the live lectures.
Topics to be covered include (but are not limited to):
Dates:
Tuesdays, February 2 to March 9, 2021
Times:
Student Cohort: 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. Central
Adult Cohort: 3:00 to 4:30p.m. Central
Cost: $69
Intended Audience:
Adults, High Schoolers and Middle Schoolers*
*There are two “cohorts” of Writing with Caspian–one for adults (college-age and up), and one for high-school and middle-school students.
The course content is the same for either cohort, but the two cohorts will attend separate lecture/discussions and participate in separate forums. Adults will be interacting with adults, and students will be interacting with students.
Please register for the appropriate cohort.
