Non-Fiction Writing College Course Learning Outcome

Learning Outcome One:

Students, first or second year of undergraduate, will read three non-fiction post modern literature books of their choice. They will then write three non-fiction stories of their choice in which they mirror the styles of the three books they have read, understanding methods and styles used to interpret intended meanings.

Students will demonstrate an understanding of the writing styles while mimicking these styles to make effective stories of their own using the same writing styles. They will identify methods of writing and structures of writing. This activity will be less about creativity and more about understanding writing styles and methods and structures of published books from the post-modern era. They will interpret these writing styles into their own stories and understand the different effectiveness and components of non-fiction writing, in order to gain an understanding of what it takes to turn personal issues into readable formats and effective methods of non-fiction writings.
