Description:

Murdock, Staff This class explores the vast and intoxicating world of children's literature. Teaching in sequence, six well known children's authors (Paul Acampora, Jen Bryant, Elizabeth Mosier, Catherine Murdock, Alexander Stadler, and David Wiesner) will examine the specific requirements of such genres as picture books, chapter books and young adult novels, the creation of compelling characters and voice, the roles of illustration and page composition in story narration, and the ever-evolving fairy tale. In-class discussion and peer review augment students' own writing and their analysis of an abundance of published work.
