Inspiration for Memoir Writers
At this site, you will find new resources that will provide
guidance and inspiration for memoir writers.
This month's challenge:
What if you could design and create a special box to hold your memories. What would this box look like? You'd want the box itself to hint at what is inside, without revealing too much. Would the box be of wood, precious metal, cloth, or some other material? How would it be decorated? Let your imagination go wild in designing this special box that will contain memories about YOUR LIFE.
Please feel free to send your descriptions to me here, and I will publish some on this site.

Link/Age: Composing in the Online Classroom
In one of the first book-length studies of a networked writing classroom, Joan
Tornow explores a complex web of issues now receiving close attention both
online and off. Beginning from a small experimental writing class—a room in the
basement—at the University of Texas, Tornow studies the interactions of
students online, their composing processes, their underlife resistance to the
culture of school, and the way they reflect the intellectual tonality of their
time. A thoughtful exploration, Link/Age will be of interest to composition
scholars and teachers, whether they are web veterans or are approaching the
online classroom for the first time.
