This course will examine texts rooted in facts and consider the transformation reality takes as it moves onto the page or screen. You will hone your critical reading, thinking, and communication skills and write in a variety of styles, including personal narrative, analytical essays, and other forms of creative nonfiction. Texts will draw from memoir, biography, rhetoric, science and nature writing, travel writing, long-form journalism, documentary film, and genre-bending works that test the definition of nonfiction itself. Continuing our support for juniors as you prepare for college, we also tackle some college-essay writing.
