Uncovering the Extraordinary will be a four-session 2 hour workshop devoted to the art of literary portraits and personal profiles. Students (ages 11-14) will be introduced to a variety of writers who are great in the medium of the personal profile as well as develop the skills to research and write their own. Individual profiles celebrate the anonymous, help us to see what is shared about a personal experience, how it fits into society, and provide a human face for even the most complex of issues.
The object of this workshop is to introduce students to profile writing and develop their basic listening, interviewing, and writing skills as they search for an ordinary citizen within their community who makes for an extraordinary personal portrait. Their bus driver, their lunch lady, a relative or a quirky neighbor, here students will realize how an individual’s story stands out as interesting while still possessing something familiar that pulls the reader in and touches them.
