They&#8217;re how we make sense of the world. Professionally, it isn\u2019t just artists who tell stories: activists, advertisers, and politicians all know that a compelling story can capture an audience in a way that arguments and statistics can\u2019t. This course will introduce students to the fundamentals of narrative structure across a variety of media: written stories, movies, games, comics and graphic novels. Across these media, students will learn to identify the key elements that grab people&#8217;s hearts and minds. Outside of class, students will focus on developing one interactive or transmedia project inspired by a work we study in class. Students will walk away with an understanding of, and practice working with, the principles of storytelling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People think in stories.
