Course Description
A firsthand account of a collective experience is a powerful historical document. The culmination of the Writing Lives project involves the generation of a first-person memoir in collaboration with a survivor. Integrating knowledge gained in Writing Lives I, students work in groups to establish interview protocols, conduct, and transcribe interviews with a survivor, and shape the material into a memoir, which they revise and edit in collaboration with their interview subject. Students plan a closing event to present a copy of the memoir to their collaborator and mark the conclusion of the project.
Prerequisite(s): A minimum "C" grade in ENGL 2226.
