HOMEWORK: due Tues 9/30

For Tuesday, please do this copia assignment, which is a follow-up to our in-class copia activity today.  

Also, bring in a list of about 5 possible stories you might use for your Experience Narrative paper.  It is a good idea for you to get started on your paper this weekend, since the workshop draft is due this coming Thursday, 10/2.  Email me (lsibbett@oc.ctc.edu) if you want to discuss which story you might use.

Finally, read the short essays "Fish Cheeks" (by Amy Tan) and "The Chase" (by Annie Dillard) in your textbook.  Come to class prepared to discuss them -- especially their use of rich, thick description (or RTD).

We will have a mock workshop on Tuesday, in which we will practice workshopping techniques using sample papers I will provide.
