Narrative Nonfiction I: Stories from Facts (Adults, 6 Weeks)

The facts rule in narrative nonfiction. The way the facts are used will result in a straight piece of reporting or a piece of narrative nonfiction. In this class participants will discuss the elements of strong narrative nonfiction and study examples. By the end of the class participants will have a thorough understanding of the genre, the effective use of narrative elements and structure, how to go about reporting a piece, and a process to uncover the story hidden within the research.
