Here's something I did write for Joyce Shenk's class. Our homework was to create a brief list type history of ourselves and bring to class. I suspect Joyce will have us all read what we have written. This introduces us all to each other. Then she will talk about using this history list to prompt story ideas for personal essays. We'll see. I'll post what really happens when I return from class on Saturday, November 1, 2003.
