| Course Section Number: | ENG-211-01 |
| Department: | English |
| Description: | HYBRID COURSE. AVAILABLE TO VIRTUAL LEARNERS. The normal prerequisite of ENG-110 is waived for this course. A memoir essay is a true story that uses some of the tools of fiction. It tells a personal story in pursuit of factual and emotional truths while asking broader questions about memory, human interactions, and more. Our own experiences will be the springboard for developing a well-crafted narrative that will help us generate insightful questions about childhood, education, friendships, and even the current pandemic. This course in creative nonfiction will have a strong workshopping component. In addition, each week we will read memoir essays by James Baldwin, Edwidge Danticat, Zadie Smith, David Sedaris, Alexandar Hemon, and Esmé Weijun Wang. Besides writing personal narratives and reading a variety of texts, students will also be responsible for peer evaluation and critique. |
