I hope everyone is enjoying your break (and working on your Unit 3 [Writing in a New Genre] draft). Please read the Akaweke Emezi essay “Writing Into the Unknown” at the end of your copy of Freshwater, and post at least three (3) comments on Perusall (and reply to at least three (3) of your classmates’ comments as well) on the Emezi article linked here: https://app.perusall.com/courses/eng-1101ml-d111-spring-2023/writers-of-color-are-making-their-own-canon

See you in class on Tuesday. We will have a short visit from a City Tech Writing Center representative to talk about resources and support available to you at the Writing Center between now and the end of the semester.

This is a link to register for the City Tech Literary Arts Festival with Akwaeke Ezemi, where you can bring your copy of their novel Freshwater for them to sign!
