Section outline

    • Readings

    • No readings are due this week! Watching a movie in class.

    • Conference Week 

    • Conferences are mandatory 20-minute meetings throughout the semester to discuss your writing in a one-on-one tutorial. 

      Attached is the sheet with the time slot you signed up for.

      Be Prepared:

      Come with a printed copy of your Lens Paper. 

      A Lens Paper is viewing one or more of our fictional readings through the Lens of one of our critical readings. Stick to just one critical source for this essay. Pick a few of the ideas that the source had and use those ideas to analyze the fictional work(s).

      Final draft will be 4-5 pages.

       It must be a more developed draft than your short informal responses, but can still be in the "rough" stage.
