Class on April 15

Hello, Writing for the Arts Students,


First Thing: I apologize for not allowing enough time for a genuine conversation/debate on the topic of cultural appropriation last Wednesday. We are going to spend the first part of class on this. What do you think about the issue? Is it important to you? Why or why not? 

Second ThingI've uploaded an example of the Delaware Contemporary Project on your respective Populi page. The file is titled "CSmith_TDC". Please use the same file-naming convention for your document. The folder is titled "TDC Draft."

On Monday, each student will upload their file and give a brief presentation/critique. If your literary piece is more than 500 words, that's not a problem. A thousand words is probably getting into TL:DR territory. My text was 569 words and I had to cut it down considerably. 

The 9:30 section should upload no later than 9:00 am on Monday, April 15. Students in the second section that begins at 11:00 should upload no later than 10:30 that morning. 

Let me know if you have questions: csmith@dcad.edu
