Today

Students,

Part of your homework for today was to type up exercise p. 11 (1.3) in which you find a passage from a work of writing you like and spoil it with abstractions, cleché’s, generalizations, and judgments. We will exchange and alter the passages today in class. Remember to bring the original passage!

Due Jan. 25

Homwork:

Read: Burroway, “Invitation to the Writer” (pp. xxi-xxviii)

Journal: Complete both the short poetry exercise on p. 14 (1.4 a programmed imagery poem) and the memoir exercise on p. 26 (1.7)

Find and bring to next class: an image (can be from anywhere, a magazine, the internet, a photograph) that sparks your imagination and compels you to think and make up a story or character from it.
