Writers,
I hope you had some down time over the spring break. We are back in the classroom tomorrow, so I am providing these reminders to keep you on track:
- Fiction Assignment-Late papers and revisions. Please remember the folder will open tomorrow (April 26) and will close at the end of the day on Thursday, (April 28). The fiction assignment is worth 20% of the course grade and this is your last chance to get it in. Note the following:
-
-
- If you are turning in a first draft, make sure to review the assignment and note the page length requirements in this post: Fiction Assignment
- If you are turning in a revision, make sure to include a Revision Note if you want me to consider raising the grade. Instructions for the Revision Note and for revising strategies in general are here: Fiction Revision Instructions and Revision Note

- We are continuing tomorrow (April 26) with our memoir writing module. We will discuss a strategy that discusses how to write about your life in chapters. On Thursday, (April 28) we will write about our relationship with money. For Thursday’s class, please read in advance Junot Diaz’s short memoir “The Money” and look through a few posts in the Money Diaries, which model one form of memoir you might pursue for your future memoir assignment.
- Lastly, as was announced before spring break, the Memoir Reading Quiz will be on Blackboard on Monday, May 9. The review post for that is here: Readings for the Memoir Quiz
As always, email with questions if you have them: jsears@citytech.cuny.edu See you in class tomorrow! Write on…..
