Establishing Myself as a Writer/Teacher

The following posts will include a selection of pieces from interviews of three citizens that I conducted in the small community of Rico, Georgia in 2005. History has always interested me. I love to hear people's stories. My hope is to use these short stories periodically in my instruction.

The various purposes will include:

• Establish myself as a writer to my students
• Mini lessons from these pieces can include:
• memoirs
• non-fiction
• interviewing
• writing technique
• stages of writing process
• pre-writing
• drafting
• revising
• editing
• recursive writing-- How can we go back to any of the previous stages to make these pieces better?
• voice
• 1st and 3nd person narrative
• publishing
• stages of research
• textual evidence
