JOU 212 - Memoir & Autobiography

Institution:

The University of Tampa

Subject:

JOURNALISM

Description:

Students read and study diverse, outstanding examples of this genre while practicing the craft of first-person narrative. Frequent and substantial writing--done in-class and as homework--is the catalyst for self-reflection and learning nonfiction storytellingtechniques: rendering scenes; portraying character; structure and narrative arc; and finding and refining the author's voice. The final project, a substantial piece of lifewriting, is created in component parts throughout the semester and revised through peer editing, the teacher's responses, and multiple drafts of the entire narrative.
