Overview
The senior year program at my school is elective-based, allowing students to select an English course that will immerse them in a specific genre or theme. I am one of several instructors who teach Senior Writers Seminar, a yearlong intensive writing class designed for students who want to strengthen their writing foundation by experimenting with the literary techniques of creative nonfiction. Students are the generative agents in the class; they continuously craft and submit essays for feedback, and the focus is on process, not product. Formal and informal writing activities allow learners to experiment within a wide range of genres: college, exploratory, causal, place essays, dialogues, and literary analyses are just a sampling of what they explore. While the desire to be a better writer is often the impetus for students to take the course, most are overwhelmed-downright afraid-when tasked with using their own lives as source material and having to share it with classmates.
