Please put the text number in the subject line. Please keep copies of what you send and bring them to class. If our e-mailing is not smooth at first, I expect we will work out the bugs after the first few tries. At times, you will bring copies of your assignments for everyone in the class.
All assignments are due on the day they are listed.
Write about several things if one thing does not come to mind or you think of new ideas as you write. I'm asking you this certainly not because I intend to teach you what you want to learn but to get some insight into your preferences and motivations. Today in class we will introduce each other, and I will present a couple of assignments. It's the beginning of the semester, and I m lucky if I know your names, much less where you are coming from as writers. Please write to me, your teacher, to tell me where you stand as a developing writer.
