1. I've had a request for a "practice" story for your final. It happens that I do have access to one of the stories we used to use a long time ago for juniors and no longer use. Unfortunately I do not have similar access right now to any stories for sophomores. Still, if you'd like to take the time to test your talents (cool alliteration there, eh?), go here and give yourself two hours with the rubric to write a brilliant essay on "Teenage Wasteland" by Anne Tyler. (Scroll down once you get there.)
2. The final assignment for the semester is to let me know where your portfolio stands at this point. This is an automatic A+ if you do it right. All you need to do is this:
Send me an e-mail in which you:
- Discuss, in three paragraphs or so (in the body of the email itself) where your portfolio process stands. What is working for you now, what is not. What pieces are nearing readiness, what is left to do on them. Which early-stage pieces might be possibilities if you work on them.
- Attach to this email the most recent draft of any pieces that you currently feel might be destined for your portfolio.
- Be sure you have discussed any pieces you attach in the paragraphs.
