If you haven’t completed this yet, be sure to do this before class on Tuesday:
READ & WRITE:
- Read Myriam Gurba’s “Pendeja, You Ain’t Steinbeck: My Bronca with Fake-Ass Social Justice Literature.” (This file can be found by clicking the red text–the file is in the Course Profile.)
- Write a critique of Gurba’s work. What did you enjoy? What questions do you have for the author? Title it Full Name, Gurba’s Work. Post it under Discussions.
During class on Tuesday, September 28, we will:
DISCUSS:
- Characterization in memoir (or any genre). A brief intro to this topic can be found in my Announcement.
- We’ll look at how the memoirists we’ve read have shown characterization both in themselves and the people they include in their work.
After class on Tuesday, September 28, students will:
- Continue working on your BRAND NEW, never before seen by this class memoir piece!
- Remember, you can use Journals 1 or 2 as the inspiration for this memoir, or you can turn in something else, as long as it’s a memoir.
On Thursday, September 30, please do the following by 11:59 PM:
WORKSHOP:
- Send the NEW memoir piece (you can use your journal entries or anything that would be considered a memoir) for your Cohort to respond to.
- Be sure to post it first. Title it Full Name, Memoir 2 and post it under Memoir.
- Email the link to your Cohort members and me at creative.writing.citytech2@gmail.com.
- Refer to the Google Doc that has our Cohorts listed–there are a few changes since “Meet My X.”

- Critique your Cohort’s work using the “ENG1141 Critique for Plot in Memoir 2,” which is found in the Course Profile (click on the red hypertext and you’ll be sent there).
