Course Description:
Join our wonderful tutor, Jackie Pavlenko, for the next session of our Commonwealth Writing series! In this workshop, we will review Birnam Wood from the previous session and then head to Canada and dive into Burning Questions, a compelling collection of essays by celebrated Canadian author Margaret Atwood.
Together, we’ll explore the novel's themes, stories, and ideas using selected extracts.
Afterwards, you’ll have the opportunity to respond through fun, non-intimidating creative writing exercises.
Whether you are an avid reader or an aspiring writer, all experience levels are welcome!
