This class poses a bit of a conundrum for me because I don't know why you are taking it. You may be here because you want to hone your academic writing skills, or you may be here because you want relief from such writing and are hoping to branch out. You may simply be here because you need a W credit and this one fit. I
can't possibly design a class that will be all things to all students; what I
can do is provide you with a bunch of writings that I think are interesting, both for content and style, and ask that you read for (and be prepared to discuss) both those things. I have grouped our readings and writings into four rather arbitrary units: childhood; travel; "the personal is the historical is the cultural is the personal;" and social commentary.


Grading:
You will write four papers, and for each one you will also participate in an extensive peer-review workshop process. I will also assign homework and in-class work based on the readings, and I expect you to participate in small-group and whole-class discussion. If you choose to take this class "S/N," please be aware that in order for your work to be considered "Satisfactory" you must complete all four papers. You cannot decide that you have enough points and not submit one.
Class Format:
Class activities will include discussion of the readings, peer-review exercises, and writing workshops.
