Your Goal Over the Long Thanksgiving Weekend

November 20, 2023 / jacob.aplaca / 0 Comments

Over the long weekend, it is vital that you make as much progress on your Unit 3 Assignment as possible.

In particular, I would recommend trying to finish the “Part I: Writing in a New Genre” portion of your assignment to leave you ample time to finish your Artist’s Statement.

Remember that your entire Unit 3 Assignment, both Parts I and II, are due on December 4th.

Please feel free to reach out to me over the weekend, if you have any questions. When we meet again on Monday, November 27th, we will be back in the computer lab.
