The Workshop

Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy

In Course 2: Memorializing Family History—From Intimidation to Empowerment With Karen Stanbury, Angela McGhie, Nicole LaRue, and John Colletta Volunteers (selected by lottery as time permits) seek class feedback. The student may read his or her piece to the class or select a friend to read it on his or her behalf. The class will offer a broad reaction to the peer’s written piece emphasizing the strengths and emotional impact. The class discusses the piece while the writer listens and takes notes. The writer may ask questions of the readers at the conclusion of the discussion. The class will assist the writer to restructure the piece and tighten the writing.
