Through a series of writing and reading activities, exercise and assignments, students work to explore character, conflict and drama through their writing. Students also work through writing exercises to develop the skills to structure a play with a clear beginning, middle and end. Students are encouraged to develop their work and the course culminates in a reading of short plays. 3C/3/0/0
