Writing Our Own History for Our Children

This two-part class will help participants write their personal histories for their children and grandchildren.  The first session will focus on (a) techniques to help participants remember interesting and significant events of their lives and the details that make the stories come to life; (b) ways to shape these incidents into meaningful stories; and (c) methods of organizing and writing.  The two-week hiatus is designed to give participants time to put some ideas onto paper. The second session will focus on (a) revising; (b) techniques for “publishing” the stories and (c) optional sharing what participants have written.
