55-5201 CRW: Autobiographical Fiction

Students read fiction known to be autobiographical in nature, and respond with journal entries and classroom discussion. Each student chooses an author to research, studies the process by which a work by that writer came into being, gives an oral report on this research in class, and writes a final essay. Students also read aloud journal responses to reading and write their own autobiographical fiction, some of which will be read aloud and discussed in the class.
