Last Class: Sharing our most fun project

Dear Students,

This is our final class of the semester. Most of you I'll see again in "Writing About Modern Literature" next semester. Some of you, I might not see again. Good luck!

You can always write me for advice or editing help with job letters, transfer applications, and other things having to do with writing. 

Writing is hard. Keep at it. You will improve. In fact, you already are improving.

Here is a link to our most fun project of the semester. It has a few bugs in it, but I'll fix them later.

Your Teacher,   Casey

Today's Group Activity: Finding Great Sources and Examples

This exercise is really simple and really fun. With two other classmates, you're going to compile a quick bibliography. You can use JSTOR (hint hint) or Google or some other search engine. 

Find five (5) articles or essays that address the issue of artistic freedom and censorship in smart insightful ways. 

Copy and paste that information into the class discussion board. You have 45 minutes before reporting back to the class.  -- Casey
