for 6/12 and 6/14

see syllabus for specific assignments for this week.

Tue.: Bring 2 stories you have written so far to share and workshop in class. Bring 2 copies and turn one copy of each in.

Read the next list of stories from Wreckage of Reason as listed on the syllabus. Come prepared to share/discuss 2-3 of the stories.

For Thur. read p44-94 in Bird By Bird and Fiction Packet 3 (on myemich).

Continue working on the postcards story.
Continue working on the other stories to start thinking about the fiction portfolio.

writing homework: eavesdrop on a conversation and write down the dialogue (either at the same time as you are hearing it, or as you remember it later). Use this dialogue as the start of a story that you write that includes the characters and this dialogue. After you have the original dialogue, you can embellish/fictionalize the characters, their story, the details, whatever. 

Terms: work on filling out the terms list (e-copy posted on myemich so you can just save and type onto the form). Include definitions and examples from specific poems, stories, texts, conversations we used/had in class so far.
