| 1255 2018 SS1 810 | 810 | 2018 | In this course we will develop our fluency in and practice our facility with a variety of genres that fall broadly under the name of "life writing." These include memoir (both glimpses and the more holistic), family history/genealogy through narrative (from individual profiles and generational schema to ancestral/cultural origins transmitted intergenerationally), oral history (involving interviews of consenting subjects), and biography (from the familiar to the remote across time and place). We will read a range of texts that shape our perspectives on these forms (in terms of craft and model), work in multimedia (including material culture – objects that tell stories; the visual/digital as well as verbal), and consolidate specific projects for a term portfolio. This course is an elective for the English major and minor and for the Writing minor. For English major tracks, Engl 3003W counts for Creative Writing, English Teaching, and Writing & Composition Studies. For General Education, it satisfies a W competency. Pre-teaching students preparing for both Neag and TCPCG satisfy a Composition requirement | Roden, Frederick | 0/19 | SS1 | Online Synchronous |
