4-Week: Four Weeks, Four Experimental Essays

Ever wanted to try your hand at writing experimental essays but don’t know where to start? Does the braided or hermit crab essay fascinate you? In this fun, generative class, writers will produce an essay a week! Each week, we will read and discuss model essays. Using these as inspiration, students will be led through various exercises to begin writing their own pieces, and at the end of each class, writers will have the opportunity to share excerpts aloud for on-the-spot feedback and suggestions. After four weeks, students will have pages of new writing and increased knowledge of various essays forms and structures.
