READING: For Tuesday's class, please read Atwan14.pdf. Additionally, read Atwan16.pdf for Thursday's session. As always, you can download these files from Blackboard. While reading these selections, pay close attention to the manner in which the authors describe specific objects, taking note of their language, & examine how they connect them to their respective selves &/or identities. Jotting down notes on these essays will be beneficial to you when we discuss the pieces in class.
WRITING: This week, both of your blog posts will require you to write about music videos. For the first post, write a 300 word response to your (current) favorite song. In addition to including 2 hyperlinks, you should embed the video directly into your post. While the content of individual posts remains open to interpretation, you might want to formulate your response so that you are writing through an object. In doing so, you will begin to groom your writing style toward the final project's parameters. Furthermore, this will provide a starting point for discussion if you are having difficulty conceptualizing this type of writing & want to discuss it with me during office hours. Your second post of the week will be the same assignment, but you will select your least favorite video to write on. Assignment 1 is DUE: Wednesday, April 23rd @ midnight. Assignment 2 is DUE: Sunday, April 27th @ midnight.
EXTRA CREDIT: On Monday, April 21st @ 3:00PM in the Alabaster Lounge, poet & Nebraska Wesleyan professor Mathias Svalina will give a reading. As always, if you attend the reading & write a 300 word response to a specific phrase or poem within 1 week of the event, you will receive 1 extra credit point.
