Road to Independence: Tour of Yorktown

NEW! Legend has it that in the afternoon of October 19, 1781, the British army under the command of General Cornwallis marched out of their defenses around Yorktown to the tune of “The World Turn’d Upside Down”.

Their destination is known in history simply as “Surrender Field,” where they were met by the combined American and French forces under the command of George Washington. There, the British and their German allies laid down their weapons in defeat and marched off into captivity. It was a stunning accomplishment for the American cause and the product of many months of planning, determination and luck. Through lectures and a guided visit to the battlefield site, we will examine the personalities, events and significance of the military campaign that ultimately resulted in victory and independence for the United States in the Revolutionary War. Course will meet for one in-class session (Wednesday, Oct 13), and will then have a trip to Yorktown on Saturday, October 16.

Adapting True Stories, Novels or Plays for Film

NEW! If a movie or TV show says it is based on, or inspired by true events, what exactly does that mean? Movies cannot exactly follow the truth – they are only an interpretation of real life that generally must fit into a two hour time frame. The nature of writing a true story, or adapting source material for the screen often involves losing subplots, combining or cutting characters, leaving out main themes, and finding the beginning, middle and end of a dramatic story line. This course is geared to help the screenwriter, producer and film director bring true stories to life, or the novelist and playwright who want to convert their own material into a screenplay.

Students will learn by example, and will understand why some adaptations don’t work and why others do.

FALL 2010 THINK AGAIN

Building Better Stories

Writing for Publication

Getting Into Character

You love your characters. You think your plot is intriguing, but on the page your story falls flat. Focusing on something more basic, the building blocks that give a story’s structure, can give good ideas the foundation they need to succeed. We will revisit some of those “boring” basics you sat through in high school - things like points of view and verb tenses. But this time, we’ll do it with an eye toward improving our own fiction. Explore examples of stories where the writer’s choices are what make the story work, and learn how different choices could have weakened the final product.

This course provides practical guidance in how to write books or shorter works for adults or children, and how to get that writing published. Topics include choosing a subject; manuscript mechanics; revising and rewriting; copyright basics; contracts and writers’ finances; and how to submit manuscripts for publication. Participants will develop a writing project of their own, share their writing with other class members, and give and receive feedback on their work. Paul Fleisher is the author of several dozen books for children and educators, as well as educational software and numerous magazine articles. Several former students from his class have published books of their own!

NEW! Most writers start out using characters that are closely modeled on their own experiences. But Eudora Welty’s advice to writers was to “write about what you don’t know about what you know.”

In this class we’ll make some forays outside our own experiences by taking on central characters as unlike ourselves as possible! Finding more characters to work with can make for more, and richer, story ideas.

Strictly Fiction We all know the adage that good fiction comes from real life. Using our astute powers of observation and a mix of class discussion and writing exercises, we will create strong characters, confront them with believable obstacles, toss in a descriptive setting and some lively dialogue and see what happens. Both beginning and experienced writers are welcome.

Successful Novel Writing: The Art & Craft of Plot A novel is a work of dramatic fiction, and the drama in a novel is achieved through the plot. 99% of all novels submitted to literary agents, publishing houses and writing contests are rejected because of shortcomings in the plot. Through discussion, examples, and classroom, we will look into, among other things, what plot is, what it is not, where it comes from, the difference between storyline and plot line, the difference between character-driven story and plot-driven story, when to introduce plot into the storyline, how to build on it, and the importance of understanding the function of plot and its critical relevance for understanding virtually all other novel elements and principles (dialogue, description, scenes).

When Less is More What exactly is short-short fiction and how does it work? Short-short stories are usually limited to less than 2,000 words.

Flash fiction is less than 750 words. Hey, Hemingway even managed to create a successful story with a word count of six!

How does successful fiction function in cramped conditions? We will look at the techniques of writers who work short, and then experiment with those techniques in our own writing. Prefer to work on a larger scale? You can still use these methods to give your writing better focus and more impact. This course will show you how big stories can fit in small packages.

Outcome Measures

Introduction to Grantsmanship

Participants will improve their grant writing skills and techniques. Participants will become familiar with research sites and sources to better search for grant sources.

How do you know you have met your mission, served your audience well, met goals (fundraising and overall organizational), and know best how to move forward? Not unless you measure and in ways that are outcome oriented? Today, outcome measurement is the best tool for internal success and a pre-requisite for external advancement and greater financial support. Board members, managers, Development staff and volunteers can benefit from this presentation of a broad range of strategies and options for outcome measurement by a professional with comprehensive management and Development experience across the sector: arts and culture, health and human service, public-private partnerships, large and small organizations.

Successful grantsmanship is more than grants writing – it’s a comprehensive process of defining needs in a compelling way; determining best type of funding possibilities and strategies; researching and connecting with appropriate sources; writing and packaging the competitive, winning proposals; and managing grants and grantors after the award or the decline – while educating and engaging better your boss and your board.
