Time permitting: Writing from Recall

Our first writing project will be writing from recall. Writing from recall is taking memories, recalling them, infusing them with your present knowledge and creating a coherent, often first-person story that allows readers not only to understand the events, but your experience and memory of the events. It may involve varying degrees of reflexivity and disclosure.
