Reminders

We're getting closer to the end of all things here, so keep the following in mind:

1) If I haven't talked with you about your CYOA project yet, that needs to happen. Like now. Email or drop by my office sooner than later.

2) Review #2 is due to me next Wednesday (May 31). Bring it to class with you or email it to me (Rich Text or MS Word format, please).

3) There are only two workshops left, and the schedule will be packed both next week and the week after. It's imperative that we start as close to 6 pm as possible if we're going to get everyone in who needs a second (and, in some cases, a first...) workshop.

4) We decided last night to have an informal reading/presentation/performance of our CYOA and/or portfolio pieces during Week Eleven, and I'm very excited to see how these texts ultimately manifest themselves. Let's go out not with a whimper or a bang, but a catyclism. Should be fun.

Comments? Questions? Concerns? Now's the time...

Hypertext's Influence on Traditional Print

David Foster Wallace's "Host"

Updates and Modifications

First things first: I want to see a draft of your CYOA project no later than May 26 (by the end of Week 8). I'll talk more about this in class tonight.

Appended: I am considering allowing you the option to combine your portfolio grade with the CYOA project grade. In other words, you can elect to submit *both* a CYOA project *and* a final, 15-page writing portfolio; or, you can throw all 60 points in one heap. We'll also discuss that more in class tonight as well.

See you soonly....
