Featured

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.

➤ Keep working on your final project

Continue to work on the essay you’ve chosen. If you want feedback on a draft, message me to make an appointment.

Please note I am not usually available for appointments on weekends, so please plan your time accordingly.

➤ TURN YOUR “POSTCARD FROM THE PRESENT” INTO A POEM

TuTh section: Please watch the recording of the MW section where I explain this assignment in more depth. Follow this link for the recording and start listening from about 01:08:00.

Turn your “postcard from the present” into a poem by cutting it up into separate lines.

As you go, make any changes to the language you wish to make it “work” better as a poem. Try cutting away words that don’t add anything meaningful. Add anything you now realize needs to be there.

Upload your poem to our SharePoint folder, to the folder called “Postcards turned into poems.”

(If you want, repeat this exercise! Write another paragraph that captures a moment in time; cut it into separate lines to turn it into a poem. Upload as many poems as you wish :) )

➤ MW Section only:

Write “I Remembers” if you haven’t yet.

➤ Finally, think about this question:

If you enjoy literary writing (creative writing) and want to keep doing it, how can you make sure that it stays a part of your life?

Be ready to share your thoughts next class.
