Dear workshop,

Thank you for all your creativity and hard work this Jan Term!

Please hand your portfolios in by 5pm on Thursday. I will be in my office between 10am and 12pm, and then teaching most of the afternoon. You may drop your portfolio in the English office on the 2nd floor of Hoover, Angela will have a box for you or put it in my mail slot.

Happy end of term,

-Prof. Chihara

Get ready for the first workshop!

Dear class,

The workshop stories should be posted in the Forum marked “Workshop 1.” I changed the name from just “Workshop,” and will create a new forum for each workshop to avoid confusion.

Remember that you should print out each story for the workshop (3 stories each time), and bring in the printed manuscript, with your notes in the margins, so that you can refer to it during workshop. It is very difficult to talk about a story if you’re not able to look at it for reference.

If you are writing critiques for this workshop, please remember to bring in 2 printed copies of your critique as well (one for the instructor, one for the author). You only need one copy of the story, but 2 of the critiques.

On Monday, you must also bring in whatever you created or wrote based on your library experience.

See you in class,
Prof. Chihara
