“What drives many of us to write is the simple human need to express ourselves,” says instructor David Jacobson. “There may be no better way to meet that need than by presenting a point of view in the short, pointed burst of intellectual and emotional energy that goes into a newspaper column, op-ed or blog post.” In this one-day class, you will learn how to write a 500-1500 word piece that drives home a perspective and stays on point. During class, you will learn how to efficiently brainstorm subjects for your writing, choose a point of view that is personal and powerful, and strategically structure your beginning, middle, and end. Our goal is that you leave class with several ideas for pieces you wish to write and at least a start on one or more of them.
