Description:

This course will afford students an opportunity to explore and reflect on their personal histories, through writing and remembering, and to shape their experiences into compelling narratives. We will also discuss aspects of craft and technique using published memoirs from a diverse menu of contemporary writers. Through experiential writing exercises, reading discussions, and peer feedback, students will produce and refine their own memoirs. Small group work, individual presentations, and keeping a reading and writing notebook will also be part of the class. The course will culminate with a group reading, in which students share aloud something they have written during the quarter. Pre-'99 Competencies: AL-2, AL-3, AL-C.
