Syllabus and Next Reading

Hi guys!

Here's the syllabus:

Syllabus

And our reading after Erica Lies will be Amy Tan's "Mother Tongue" which in my version of the text is on p. 178.

HW for Friday: Introductions as Writers

Introduce yourself to me as a writer:

1.)  Introduce yourself to me as a writer. How do you feel about writing? Do you consider yourself a writer? Why or why not? Tell me more about your relationship with writing in the past, and how you hope this class helps you become a better writer. How about reading? Do you like to read? Have you ever? Tell me the last book you read that you liked (even if you were really young). Tell me anything else you want me to know, as well, like your favorite color, or how you're obsessed with rollercoasters.

Please EMAIL this to me: dhunt at york dot cuny dot edu

Before our class on Friday. THANKS!

Free Pizza!

We're not using the Common Reader... for reasons we can discuss later if you want, but it's nothing against the book... but, there's going to be FREE PIZZA at this event, if you want to go! (And don't have classes.)

Tuesday, Sept 8--so the day after Labor Day. 12-2. Room AC-2D01. Which sounds like a droid from Star Wars.
