Inhalt: Until recently, memoir was often seen as the step-child of literary studies. As a result of the internet, blogging, twitter, and the growing interest in the daily lives of people in general, narratives in the form non-fiction writing are booming. Although life writing about the rich and famous is still popular, increasingly more attention is being given to groups whose voices have not much been heard. In this project-oriented class, students will be introduced to life writing and techniques writers of non-fiction use to tell their own stories. Moreover, students will explore the genre memoir by reading and critically analyzing the New York Times Bestseller,Growing Up Amish by the Ex-Amish blogger Ira Wagler. In the second part of the course, students will be mentored on an individual basis and write about their own lives. They will be involved in peer editing and expected to revise their own writing as well as present/read their life writing piece to the class. Students will learn to use the software Audacity and produce lively read audio versions of their stories that will be compiled into a class cd. Everyone has a story to tell. What is yours?
