HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!



In addition to assigned writings in Creative Writing I & II, students should compose a minimum of three independent pieces of writing per quarter. To receive credit (certainly the least of our worries as writers) the following criteria must be met for each piece:

• must be a completed piece of writing of publishable quality (i.e., edited, proofread, formatted)
  
• must have an introduction of no less than 150 words in which you reflect on the process of composing that piece, as well as the final product (e.g., inspiration, influences, conflicts, editorial comments, points of pride, lingering doubts)


• must have a minimum of 2 constructive comments from classmates specific to the piece that make at least 2 specific points each (I like..., I suggest..., I wonder about...)

Just to be pragmatic, please identify each piece in the title column on your blog as follows: Independent Writing #1, Independent Writing #2, etc.

Place the original title of your piece at the top of the post itself.
