Final Assignments

FINAL ASSIGNMENTS
Memoir Writing
Fall 2007


BOOK REVIEW DUE NOV 7TH

Turn in a book review of the memoir you chose to read. You will do a 3-5 minute presentation about your book to the class. Post your review to the blog.

PORTFOLIOS DUE NOV 11TH
GET GRADED ON YOUR BEST WRITING!

By now, you'll have written 3 pieces. You'll have received feedback and revised. Now it's time to polish for publication.

Turn in your portfolios for final grading Nov 10th (at the beginning of the Writing Marathon) if you are turning in hard copies. Post all your final versions to your blog by Nov 11th at 5 pm. Please put "final version" in the title line of your blog posts so we know which ones you want us to grade. You do not need to turn in hard copies. You may simply post to your own blog. Please put a note on the one you would like to appear in our class anthology.

SUBMIT ONE PIECE FOR PUBLICATION BY NOVEMBER 14TH

Pick one of your three pieces to submit for publication. You can chose where you submit, but please post to your blog an explanation of what you decided to submit, where you submitted it, and why you chose that publication. This posting should be completed by Nov 14th (last class).

METATEXT: WHAT DID YOU LEARN? BY NOVEMBER 14TH

After you’ve completed your portfolio, look back at all you have written for this class, informally and formally. Please post to your blog a response to the question: What have you learned?

LAST CLASS

Dinner, discussion, sharing anthologies.
