About
Like all interpretation, interpretive writing intends to help people make connections to the meanings of an artifact, resource, or site. But many of the people reading your interpretive writing will not be at your site. They may be looking at web pages or reading a brochure. Your writing may elicit the emotional response that motivates them to visit, donate, or volunteer.
In this course, you will have the opportunity to learn about how to create effective interpretive writing products.
