ANNOUNCEMENT: EN workshop draft due date extended

In case you missed this announcement in class today, the Experience Narrative workshop draft is now due NEXT TUESDAY, 10/7.  We will have the workshop on that day.

HOMEWORK: EN paper proposal and reading

For Thursday, please type up a 2-3 paragraph proposal for your Experience Narrative paper.  Let me know what story you intend to tell, which scenes you intend to include, and what your exigence might be.  You may use your proposal to work on narrowing down what you want to do -- that is, you might have three or four scenes you're deciding between, or you have some different ideas for exigence (or no ideas for exigence) and want help with the thinking through.  

Submit your proposal by email to lsibbett@oc.ctc.edu.  It is due by classtime on Thursday.

Also for Thursday, please read Maya Angelou's essay "Champion of the World" and George Orwell's "Shooting an Elephant" (both in your textbook).
