LAST CLASS/ FINAL PORTFOLIO

MONDAY IS OUR FINAL CLASS

For starters we will have journal presentations from those who were not with us last week

Next we will hand in our Final Portfolios

If you need a refreshment of the guidelines:

9 pages of publishable material

These 9 pages must be a :

*Minimum of five (pages of) workshoped pieces: For these pieces considerable changes must be made however including first drafts are optional

Maximum of four (pages of) writing exercises: For these pieces a previous writing exercise can be revisited and improved (minimum of two pages per exercise)

New Poems/ Short Stories: (One page of) a new short story/poem can be included in the portfolio if you think it’s strong enough to represent your best work

Revision Note: I do not require a copy of your first drafts because most of the drafts will already be included on the class blog

*You can only count the pages that you read out-loud in a workshop. So if you brought in a 10 page short story and read two pages to us, it counts as two pages towards the portfolio

Include the whole story or the larger piece from which you read out-loud

PS: If you're short on workshoped pages it is possible to count the stories/poems that were critiqued on your blogs

ANY QUESTIONS: Please E-MAIL ME by Sunday night
