<h1><strong>Education History</strong></h1>
<p>Ottawa Writing School: Writing program x 4 years.<br />
University of Waterloo: Environmental Science<br />
University of Ottawa: Baccalaureate in Science, 1986</p>
<p><strong>Teaching History</strong></p>
<p><br />
Shenkman Arts Centre, 245 Centrum Boulevard, Ottawa.<br />
Deborah developed and taught the following courses:</p>
<h4>Fiction Writing—The Basics and Beyond (ages 11-14)</h4>
<p>Learn the basics of story writing from an author—idea, setting, character, plot, dialogue, conflict, etc.—while developing your own unique voice. Complete a story or the beginning of a novel with step-by-step guidance. Introduction to critiquing/editing.</p>
<p><br />
Students will examine effective dialogue, develop plot outlines and character sketches, write 5 to10 pages of a story or complete two scenes of a longer work. Publish 1 to 2 pages in a class anthology.</p>
<h4>A Novel Idea (Adult)― Fiction Writing. </h4>
<p>Sharpen your writing skills and learn how to submit your manuscripts for publication. The course explores all aspects of basic writing: brainstorming, character, plot, setting, dialogue, editing/revision, queries and synopses. Course structure: lecture and critique.</p>
<div class="floatLeft quote" style="width:245px; margin:0 15px 15px 0; font-size: 12px;">
<p>“Editing is a talent Deborah Jackson takes seriously, but she is never harsh. Not only are her critiques clear and concise, she is very thorough and supportive. As a former student of her creative writing course, Deborah opened my eyes to the many pitfalls of the craft and inspired me to complete my first novel. She is at the top of my list for editors."<br />
<strong><em>Jackie Beingessner</em></strong></p>

<h4> </h4>
<h4>A Novel Idea II (Adult)― Fiction Writing.</h4>
<p>A Novel Idea I recommended prior to taking this course. Improve writing skills with intensive critique sessions/feedback. Writing exercises focus on character development, setting, dialogue, POV, fresh language, show vs. tell, active vs. passive writing skills.</p>
<p><br />
</p>

Deborah developed reading group guides and activities for elementary school students. A number of books have been used in schools for novel studies and literature circles.</p>
