Unit+3+-+Old+Friend+From+Far+Away

//Old Friend From Far Away// is Natalie Goldberg's tome and workbook about the practice of writing memoir. We will be reading this book in chunks, and you can see which chunks are due when on the Course Calendar.

For each chunk, you will be responsible for completing at least five of the writing prompts -- which five are up to you. They can be typed or handwritten in your writer's notebook, whichever is best for you. Bring these writings to class and be prepared to work with them.

Also, you will be expected to type a response processing what you're reading and how your thoughts regarding memoir are evolving or clarifying. The best, most efficient way to approach this is to single out passages that give you ah-ha! moments, and explaining what's behind the ah-ha! Pulling 3-5 passages is pretty good, and be sure to include the page number. A good, solid paragraph of explanation is preferred.
