Interest Packet
Outcome: Through reading, discussing, and writing about personal essays by Pico Iyer and David Sedaris, you will learn about how an author develops his or her voice. You will then apply this knowledge to producing work of your own. You will demonstrate this understanding by first preparing a portfolio of your personal writing and second by taking one piece from this portfolio through a rigorous editing process to completion. You will be able to use this essay as a component on North American college applications or as a model for such an essay on another topic. Term Introduction: We have spent all year studying other authors and their writing. Now, its time to study and write about yourself. Although well read a few essays by the authors Pico Iyer (about travel) and David Sedaris (about a number of things), you will be the focus of this term. You wont just be the author of most of what youll be writing in class, youll also be the subject. Well begin the term by reading a number of essays on travel by Pico Iyer, which youll use as models and inspiration for writing youll do on your world experience trip. Well then do the same with a

number of short personal essays by David Sedaris. Well also do a number of personal writing exercises in class unrelated to either authors work. Youll then select a number of the pieces of writing that you prepare in these exercises to present as a portfolio, which will constitute the first half of your project grade. Youll then choose one of these pieces to develop further into a short (500 word) essay that you can use for North America college applications (or that can serve as a model for such an essay). Topic Overview Analyzing Nonfiction Writing Personal Essays Analyzing an Authors Voice Developing Your Voice Preparing a Portfolio Editing Essential Questions

How do we analyze personal nonfiction? What makes people connect with a writer (or with a read)? How can we use writers as models for our own work? How does writing about something change our understanding of it? How do we present our work to others?
