Week 12 Assignments

Workshop Preparation
Respond to the scene or one-act play from your workshop group by completing a Peer Response Form (handed out in class and posted to the blog) for each piece. Forms should be typed. Bring two copies of each response to class November 19th, one for the writer, and one for me.

Writing Assignment
Optional (if you still need to turn in a poem or prose piece, here are some exercises to work from):
1) Compose a series of at least five found poems or found prose pieces that have a shared theme, subject, or organizational principal.
2) Compose your own cento of at least 40 lines using at least 5 different texts.
