Using our reading of Hometown writing on community, you will create a simple, text-based website on WebCT, viewable only by the class. During our reading of News of the Universe , you will be given the choice of writing a number of poems, or a piece of fiction. At the end of the semester, the class will form two groups and put on a performance based on the work we have done during the semester on nature and community. I will have much more to say about performance, but in a nutshell, these performances will be collaboratively created, multi-media plays. If you do really well on one of the assignments it could raise your grade on all the others, but if you do badly on one of the assignments it will not lower the grade on the others.
All assignments are due by the due date.
If you start getting behind on your assignments I will lower your grade, even if you eventually get them all in. Three absences are allowed. This class is all about participating in the class, so if you miss more than three classes it will be reflected in your grade.
