Jack Knox was here!! And did he ever have a lot to teach us.
Jack Knox responses are due Tuesday. If you missed it, you can make up this event by attending
a literary event outside of class. Last day for literary event responses is Fri. Jan. 21
Tues: Presentation by Nick and Barbara
Thurs: Sandy Mazyzell--theatre teacher and film producer extraordinaire. Sandy's seminar is called Off The Page. She teaches authors how to read their works so that they are understood and appreciated when heard! Don't miss it.
I collected the opinion pieces today. You still have two weeks to edit them. A few of you have a knack for this style but most of you are still doing what all new writers do--failing to engage the reader with sufficient detail. Some of you didn't use any of the literary techniques at all, including paragraphs. So, back to the drawing board it is.
Now--a longer personal essay. Search for a key topic. Begin your research. Interview, check and re-check your sources. You cannot use any data that isn't true. Include a bibliography.
Due Monday -- two copies for workshop. DOUBLE SPACE THEM.
