Write Now! Creative Writing Renewal for Teachers The "Write Now!" workshop for teachers allows you to write freely. Free of consequences. Free of daily concerns except to nurture your creative life. The goal of the workshop is both to renew enthusiasm for your own creative writing and to generate original work. We will use writers’ lives to generate new pieces. The class will focus on “teachers as writers” with the understanding that renewed enthusiasm for one’s writing will be carried over into your classrooms and in turn help invigorate your student-writers. Each day we'll focus on a specific element of making new writing, from generative thinking to imaginative renewal, and by the end of the week you'll have several new pieces to work on and complete. |

This is University-approved credit, at either the undergraduate (course numbers 100-499) or graduate (600-699) level. Depending on your advisor and your program of study, these credits can apply as electives or substitute for required courses. Please contact your college advisor prior to registering for the class to determine how these credits may apply to your course of study.
Quarter or Semester credits? WOU only offers credits based on the quarter system. The conversion is 3 quarter hour credits = 2 semester hour credits. To convert quarter hours to semester hours, divide the quarter hours by 1.5.
To convert from quarter system credits to the European ECTS: the number of quarter credits divided by 1.5 multiplied by 2 = ECTS
