1. Fiction Packet 2: Thalia Field's story A . I from  Point and Line

2. Read the following stories (listed by author) from Wreckage of Reason: Foos, Reeves, Lillis, Treat, Jackson, Natov, (Mazza,) DeLuca, Tupitsyn, Shope, Ben-Oni, Doller, Brenner, Cain, (Brennan,) (Hoang) (stories in parenthesis are optional); we will have an in-class writing assignment on these reading assignments so come prepared to write about them and discuss.

3. Write a blog response on at least 3 of the stories from Wreckage of Reason

4. Creative assignment: Choose 4 postcards, spend 15 minutes writing down everything that comes to mind when you look at the postcards laid out in front of you. Be specific and use significant and concrete detail. Start writing and don't stop for the full 15 minutes. Then, look at the material you have generated. Construct a story from the material that include one or more character(s) in a place, in which something happens (any smallest or large thing; situation;conflict; or etc). Write the story, feeling free to add or subtract details and information from the original writing as you see fit.


We will talk about the midterm evaluations and other assignments in class.
