Personal Narrative

This five-week class is an introduction to effective and moving personal narrative storytelling. We will explore the complexity of memory and read and analyze first-person pieces in an effort to help us find our own voices. Students will learn and practice pitching and producing stories, essays and multimedia pieces that incorporate reporting, experience, emotion, perspective and other important elements. Students will write/produce at least one piece targeted for a specific publication, website or broadcast audience.
