Humans of DVC
The journey to my memoir
In this class our first project was called Humans of DVC and what we first started it off with was interviews each of us were grouped up into two as we interviewed each other back and forth. We recorded ourselves and created actual mini sites for one another.
Our final project was based on our actual interviews Noel our teacher had us take down notes and gave us brief examples of what memoirs were. She told us the name of the author who started memoirs and how he grew up in New York and interviewed people about their lives and who they are. It got pretty famous he has his own book now and even a blog for what he does it's really interesting to see a window to other peoples lives. After all that she had us write as much as we could for 30 seconds then another and then 5 minutes so three different drafts and we had to choose one that we wanted to keep writing and that became our memoir.
