Dear class,

Unfortunately, I have had to cancel class Feb. 22 due to being sick. Please note the following information for next week’s class on Feb. 29, including additional readings:

Next week, we will have our first workshop. Be sure to have all critique sheets completed with copies to turn in to each writer and to Julia for grading.

Be sure this week’s reading is completed: 

• Tell It Slant: Chapter 14: “The Writing Process and Revision
• Touchstone Anthology, David Foster Wallace’s “Consider the Lobster,” page 525.

In addition, read for class:

• Tell it Slant: Read Part 1, Chapters 6, “Gathering the Threads of History,” Chapter 7, “Writing the Larger World,” Chapter 8, “Using Research to Expand Your Perspective”

“Fourth State of Matter” by Joann Beard (Touchstone Anthology, page 1)

We will have significant class discussion on these essays and possibly a reading quiz. Be sure to come to class with observations and questions about both.
