Any form of writing requires a huge amount of reading. The purpose of this course is to read extensively about poetry and plays. We shall try to understand their craft as an aid for both writing and reading poetry and play. A survey of poets and playwrights reflecting on their writings will give us an insight into the creative mindscape. Each week, students will be assigned an article to write an evaluative summary with their own analysis and share it with their peers. Furthermore, students will have to find out more about the author’s own work and write a response paper which will be included in their folder.
