Teacher as Witness5 Session Yearlong Series Begins on 9/15/07Teacher as Witness is a yearlong five session workshop series. To write as witness is to express important truths, whether those truths are personal, political, or social. We live in our time, inescapably tied to it, shaped by it and shaping it. In this five session workshop, we will cultivate an eye for truth: writing first from home to explore who is doing the seeing, then observing small details to extract larger meanings, writing portraits of people and places, crafting scenes and ultimately a fiction or nonfiction story (our own or others’) that reveals the beating heart laid bare in words on the page. At year’s end, Susanne hopes to create the opportunity for writers to share bits of these stories of witness on public radio.
