Assignments
You must complete five of the following assignments by the end of
the eight-week summer term (July 28): Assignments #1,#2, #3, #6, and either #4 or
#5. (NOTE: In place of the autobiographical essay [#1], you have the option of
doing a second travel essay [#2].) I have left it up to you to set a sensible
summer timetable for these assignments. Because the summer term is short, you should
attempt to complete at least one assignment every week. In any case, the deadline
for submitting ALL course work is July 28. (The deadline for submitting drafts for
feedback is July 22--though the earlier you send me drafts, the more help I'll be able to
provide.) In addition to sharing your drafts with me, I encourage you to share
them with friends, family members, and/or fellow students. Though you're not required to
base all of your writings on your experiences in England, I certainly encourage you to
take full advantage of that experience.
To guide your note-keeping and your explorations (I expect you to keep a travel
journal--though I won't be collecting it), please review the guidelines before
you head off to England in July.
