First off, another “thank you” to all of today’s presenters — particularly for their patience with the various (ahem) logistical difficulties.  I’ve been promised that the laptop and the lunches will arrive before 11 without fail 0n Thursday, so we’ll see.
One other lesson: bring your PowerPoint presentation on a flash drive so that you’re ready to go when it’s your turn.
To give us all a bit more of a breather between these presentations and the draft of essay #4, I’ll postpone that deadline until Friday evening at 8:00. This is a writing group deadline again, so I’ve listed the writing groups below. As before, copy me on your draft.
Conferences with me and/or Bennett are not required for this essay; you’ll be getting primary feedback from your writing group. Bennett and I are happy to meet with you by appointment, and you can email either of us to arrange that for some time next week.
Your final portfolios are due by 5:00 PM on Friday, Dec. 15 to my mailbox in the English department office in Crookshank. I’ll post a checklist for what that should include here this coming Thursday.
