    Description
    This course introduces students to styles, formats, and interactive media writing, including scripts and treatments for fiction and non-fiction film, television, and electronic media. Students evaluate sample scripts and electronic media as models for their own writings, thus readings draw from diverse authors, themes, and contexts to foster consideration of race, ethnicity, gender and sexuality, ability, language, belief systems, class, position, intersectionality, and power. The course emphasizes the importance of audience engagement, including how to connect with diverse audiences and points of view in terms of how a work is written and received.
