Interpretive Writing Course Openings

 

We have several new openings for our popular Interpretive Writing Course.  This is a college level course on developing truly "interpretive" writing, based on Tilden's Interpretive Principles and "outcome based" interpretive writing.  The course covers:

- Writing using interpretive principles (Provoke, Relate, Reveal).

- Writing to illustrate interpretive themes.

- The model of interpretive planning and making writing text decisions based on audience, objectives, media and pre-post testing evaluation.

- Interpretive writing using tangibles, intangibles and universal concepts.

- Writing using active language, metaphors, similes, etc.

- Writing for different media (one unit on each):

            * Outdoor interpretive panels.

            * Museum exhibit label copy.

            * Writing for self-guiding media.

            * Writing for audio interpretation.

- Writing with feeling - interpreting "the rest of the story".

 

As with all of our courses, this is a e-LIVE course where your writing assignments are sent to the course instructor with whom you can SKYPE, phone or e-mail chat with - your live personal interpretive writing coach.  You can also work on actual projects as part of course assignments.

You can start the course at any time and complete the course at your own pace.

 

Our lecturers and coaches are professional interpreters (with M.S/Ph.d degrees actually in heritage interpretation and 15+ years of experience doing and teaching interpretation at the college level).
