Secret Lives of Animals
Instructor(s): Caren Pita
Location: WAB – 740 University Ave.
Code: W17-YF21
From the talking beasts of Narnia, to Warrior cats, to the falcon Frightful, animal characters fill youth fiction with adventure, both realistic and fantastic. We’ll share our favorite animal stories and write some of our own. We’ll be inspired by a visit from the Zoomobile We’ll make the kinds of choices authors face when writing animal characters: to anthropomorphize (make like humans) or not? Can they talk with each other, with other animals, with humans? How will they interact with human characters, if at all? How will human readers relate to them? How do we get the facts we need, and then decide whether to use them or not?
