My America: Immigrant & Refugee Writers Today
Building a Writing Identity
In 'Building a Writing Identity', you will engage with materials primarily from the My America: Immigrant and Refugee Writers Today virtual exhibit. The purpose of Part 1: Building a Writing Identity is to explore the complex identities of writers to deepen understanding and development of your own writing identities. Begin by watching the following videos. You may take notes as you watch, which may include connections, similarities, questions, ideas that resonate with you. Once you have watched the videos, reflect on what you gained from listening to the authors. Finally, you will select your own significant object to write about. You can begin by describing the object in detail, its significance, and then write a narrative story connected to that object.
