Homework for Monday, September 15th

Your only homework for the weekend is to draft a version of your personal narrative essay. Please reference the assignment sheet and the student example--both located in the Content section--for details on what's expected for this assignment. At a minimum, the rough draft of the paper should be half of the page count of the requirement for the final draft. This weekend, I will create discussion boards to which you will post your drafts, and we will discuss workshop guidelines and policies in class on Monday.

A few people have expressed interest in the short video we watched this week, as well as the essay on Happiness vs. Meaning that I briefly referenced. Here are the links to those materials, in case anyone else would like to review them:

David Foster Wallace: "This is Water"
Emily Esfahani Smith: "There's More to Life than Being Happy"
