You did some descriptive writing to use place as part of story-telling - and we looked at how John McPhee did the same. His piece uses description that moves back and forth from the game of Monopoly to Atlantic City - the place that the game is was based on - to develop a complex discussion of economics (how strategies of play/development -quick-kill vs games that go on for days - connect to outcomes )and the place of the middle class. We got most of the way through this discussion - but as usual I didn't leave quite enough time.
We took a look at the new calendar (posted) and will go over the revised requirements for the portfolo (also posted) in class on Monday, Nov 17.
For Wednesday: work on your Draft for Essay 3 (no blog assignment!)
In class on Wednesday you can work on either Essay 3 or brainstorm a topic for Essay 4. Also, I will go over the requirements for the presentation on finding publication venues for your work.
The due date for Essay 3 is now Monday, Nov 17.
