This course teaches students how to take a more objective (scholastic) approach to reading and writing while honing the techniques for persuasive and compelling narrative writing developed in previous coursework.* The class will culminate in the completion of a biography project (app 25 pages). The project consists of three chapters (biographies) of individuals who have something in common, and an essay that discusses this commonality.

* “The Biography” is the second in a series of FLEX Writing Center courses. Each course in the series stands alone but continues to advance skills developed in prior coursework. “Personal Narrative Essay” recommended but not required.
