10.13: Feedback for Essay 2 (second "I" essay)

We spent some time following through with our discussion of "truth" and expanded our discussion to think about how we felt about the ethics of writing about others in fiction - as well as in CNF.  The discussion indicated that it depends both on the material, the genre - and your relationship to the person you are writing about - and it led us into some more discussion of who owns writing . . . .  I don't think this is going to sort out easily.

You then spent some time commenting on group members essays AND on three random essays.  You were asked to make a post that gave your readers some direction for the kind of feedback you are looking for - and I encouraged you to give classmates a heads up if you thought their draft had possibilities for a good "reading" (looking forward to next Thursday.

We finished class by taking a look at the assignment for the "eye" essay - and doing some writing to set you up for this genre.

For next class:
Come to class with the text of the material you expect to read on the National Day of Writing.  You will practice with your group (get the time down) and have a chance to try out your reading "personae".
