Schedule for the End of the Semester

We have only nine (9) class sessions left in the semester. Please make every effort to come to these nine classes fully prepared to participate in discussion and critique. Of course, make sure your assignments are uploaded on time.

Two assignments remain: 

The Delaware Contemporary Project (two parts: art & writing), and the Final Essay (20 pts).

I have pushed back the Delaware Contemporary Project a tiny bit. Your finished drafts will be due no later than 1:00 pm on Tuesday, April 12. On that day, every student will make a brief (5 minute) presentation at the front of the class. Have a sketch or a concept drawing ready to show, and also have a draft of the writing component ready to share. This will count for 50% of your final grade for this unit, so don't blow it off. 

Your final submission is due no later than 1:00 pm on Tuesday, April 19. No late submissions will be accepted because we need to get the work to the jurors at The Delaware Conemporary, so they have time to select what they believe to be the best work.

The Final Essay will be introduced on Thursday, April 7. It is due no later than 1:00 pm on April 28. The assignment centers on the theme of censorship in the arts and will require you to write argumentatively to support a debatable position. This essay will incorporate at least three (3) reputable secondary sources and be formatted in MLA style. The minimum length is seven (7) developed paragraphs with a "Works Cited" page at the end. This should demonstrate your best writing of the semester. Show me what you have learned. Students who do a brilliant job with this final assignment are likely to improve their final grades. A draft of this essay is due no later than 1:00 pm on Tuesday, April 26 (50%), and the final is due no later than 1:00 pm on Thursday, April 28.
