Reading, Writing, Adaptation
This course considers the transformation of text into new formats and the impact of such adaptations on the various elements of story-telling (character, point of view, dialogue, setting, scene, and narrative arc) and issues of narrative integrity. The goal of this course is to hone aspiring writers' critical thinking and creative skills through close reading, critical viewing, comparative analyses of narrative strategies, and creative writing exercises that emphasize adaptations of source texts. Students will also gain practical insights into the adaptation industry. [Restriction(s): This is a Priority Access Course. Enrolment may be restricted to students registered in the Creative Writing major or minor.][Department(s): School of Theatre, English, and Creative Writing]
