We'll have a brief quiz on the readings from TRUTH OF THE MATTER and last week's memoir lecture.
After the quiz, I'll give a lecture reviewing the concepts from Chapters 1-3/TRUTH OF THE MATTER.
Then we'll spend time reviewing your responses to the prompts (#1 on p. 17; #1 & #2 on p. 28). We'll go around the room and you can choose which prompt to share with the class.
Assignments for next class:
Prompt #1, p. 40 -- recreating scene
Prompt #2, p. 40 -- recreating dialogue
Please put copies of these brief prompts in your prompts binder.
Read Chapter 5/TRUTH OF THE MATTER. Read Philip Gerard's essay "What They Don't Tell You About Hurricanes," p. 151 in TRUTH OF THE MATTER.
ESSAY #1: Prompt #1 on p. 52 asks you to draft a short essay centered on the theme "What They Don't Tell You About _________________." Write an essay, 800 words or less, and make copies to share with the class in workshop. (20 copies should do it.) Use Gerard's essay as a model.
