WOC190 - Final project

Due at midnight (11:59pm) on Sunday May 14 (China time)

Choose one of your three essays—the one you’re proudest of, or most interested in improving—and revise it into a complete, polished work that you could imagine being published in the Literary Atlas of DKU, or elsewhere.

➤ Tell me what piece you’re going to revise

By the end of the day today (Wed. Oct. 13) please message me on WeChat and tell me what piece you’re planning to revise, if you haven’t yet.

➤ Write a “postcard from the present”

Write a 4-6 sentence paragraph that attempts to capture, as vividly as possible, a moment between now and next class. Make the reader feel “there.” Write in such a way that, if you were to read this postcard ten years from now, you would feel as if you were back in that moment again.

Upload your postcard to our Box folder.

➤ Begin revising

The earlier you begin revising, the better the work will become — so get started soon! I am willing to give you feedback on as many revision attempts as you wish; it all depends on how motivated you are to work on it and make it better.
