Schedule for rest of semester
As we worked out in class last time, here is the flight plan on in to the terminal:
Tuesday, Dec. 1 — I will return your graded drafts. Peer groups will meet to discuss the copies of your draft you handed out to group members in class. If you were not in class, please email your draft to the other members of your group, and ask them to email their draft to you. Look over the drafts during Thanksgiving break so you can make helpful suggestions.
Thursday, Dec. 3: We will watch the first two-thirds of the movie “Shattered Glass.”
Tuesday, Dec. 8: Another peer group discussion, this time of your work-in-progress on your final paper. Bring copies for your peer group to class with you. We’ll start the class with time for you to read your colleagues’ papers.
Thursday, Dec. 10: FINAL PAPER IS DUE. We’ll watch the last third of “Shattered Glass.” I’ll invite the editor of the Delta Collegiate to talk with you about campus journalism. Read the paper in advance and be sure to have questions for her.
Tuesday, Dec. 15: Your graded final paper will be returned to you for revision. In-class writing day for extra credit. You can write your reflections on “Shattered Glass” and its message for writers; or you can spend the period working on fiction, poetry or memoir. Work in long hand. Plan on drafting and them revising. We’ll save the last half hour for anyone who wants to read their work to the class. The extra credit grade for attendance and good faith effort will add a half grade to your lowest grade on the summaries. If you made nothing but A’s, one of those will go to an A+
Thursday, Dec. 17: Last day of class. Revised final paper due. I’ll try to pull some things together in a lecture and we’ll have a course evaluation. Probably done early.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
Dr. P.
