All the assignments have been posted so the Synergy. I will update Synergy regularly so you should see an accurate picture of progress at most anytime.
Students should have 4 approved third-person narratives posted on blog at this time.
Recently, I added two more assignments: an essay (compare-and-contrast paper comparing the world of the novel to the student’s world today) and a zine (each student will make a homemade magazine with his or her best narratives written this trimester.) At this time, if Synergy shows that you’re passing (and the system is still working correctly), you will pass this class.
If you have any questions, please send me an email message.
