In this class, you will learn the definition of a scene and the five narrative modes that go into building a story: description, action, dialog, inner thoughts, and reflection. Using Chapter Five of Judith Barrington’s Writing the Memoir, we’ll discuss when to use a scene and when to use summary or reflection, and practice writing a scene in class.

With a Master’s degree in English literature and a Certification in Secondary Education, Anais Salibian taught high school English and Drama for five years. She had been a massage therapist since 1981, using a mind/body modality that is particularly suited to help people overcome trauma and connect with their deeper selves. She has taught creative writing classes at Writers & Books since 1989 and has published creative nonfiction. In 2004, she received the Writers & Books Teacher of Adults Award for the Creation and Appreciation of Literature.
