The final, final date for revisions to the portfolio is the end of class Thursday.  I will read through + grade portfolios as soon as possible, and hope to send an email with your grade by Saturday.  If I don't hear from you by Sunday, I will assume you are OK with your grade and post it to Keanwise on Monday.  I am assuming everyone concerned (me included) will feel the grades are fair and there will be no surprises, still, I wanted you to have a heads up in terms of the process.

Wow.  I can't believe this term is over.  I've gotten to read some really awesome writing - and to watch you work through your ideas in writing.  Thanks.  What a great job!   I am looking forward to the reading.

12.8 Last week of class

Returned work:  You should have Essay 3-4 in your email with a grade + comments.  Good writing.  Overall, essays for this assignment demonstrate real growth in your work.  Thanks for the great reads!

 Everyone completed his/her presentations today:  well done.  Your discussion gave us an overview of who publishes CNF, what the different standards are, and how to send your work - and that was exactly the idea.

Alison suggested that we might use this blog as a clearinghouse for publication dates - and I am willing to do that.  If you send the information I will post it.

Next week:
On Tuesday we will check in to make sure your portfolios are complete and that I can access them.  If you did not receive an email telling you differently, I have a working link to your portfolio

Class Tuesday will also be devoted to planning/rehearsing for the reading.  Bring the piece you hope to read to class.  We have reserved Kean Hall 127 from 1:30 to 4:00.  I will be there at 1:30 to set up, make sure everything is in place (which should take about 5 minutes) and the rest of the time between 1:30 & 2:00 is open for you and your guests to enjoy whatever refreshments you bring and socialize.  We will firm up the refreshments list in class + create the sign up list for the readings.

Have a good weekend.

12.5 Performance + Presentations on Publication Venues

Performance.  The Class Reading will be held in Kean Hall-127.  I have reserved the space from 1:30 to 4.  There will be a table at the back of the hall for refreshments, 30 chairs, and a speakers table.  Feel free to bring guests + food.

Presentations on Publication Venues.  "Handouts" for your presentations should be posted on your blogs.  Todays presentations were all great and should serve as excellent models for anyone who had questions.  The rest of you will present on Thursday.

Blog 21:  Reflective/craft essays:  Your craft/reflective essays should be on your blogs.  Use your class network to get feedback.  If you are unsure or would like specific feedback from me - let me know and we can set up a conference.

Great class today - and take care of yourself during these last crazy weeks fo the term!   See you Thursday.
