First Workshop:

Bring two copies of your critique sheets for each member of your group: one for the writer, and one for Julia. These count toward your grade in this class.

You can download additional critique sheets and review workshop protocol on the Workshops Materials page.

Remember that workshops can not be made up if you are absent.

In addition to workshop, we will have an in-class revision exercise. Please read for class in Tell It Slant: Chapter 14: “The Writing Process and Revision”

As we finish the memoir unit, we will begin working on personal reported essays. Please read for class in Touchstone Anthology, David Foster Wallace’s “Consider the Lobster,” page 525. You will either have group work or a reading quiz on this essay, so please be prepared with active reading: Come to class with notes and observations about this piece.
