Next week we're moving class entirely online. Our "discussion" will take place in the comments section on each of your reading response posts. Those posts will be in response to pieces from Secret Ingredients: The New Yorker Book of Food and Drink.
For Tuesday, please read the Dining Out section of Secret Ingredients, pages 3-98, and post a response to the reading on your blog by 2 p.m. Before Thursday at 2 p.m., make sure to read and respond to each of your classmates' responses by writing a thoughtful comment.
For Thursday, read 103-157 and the Local Delicacies section, pages 277-335, in Secret Ingredients, and post a reading response by 2 p.m. Then make sure to read and respond to each of your classmates' responses by Friday at 5 p.m. Consider using our designated class times to read and respond to each other's posts about the reading.
In the reading assignment, there are many various shorter pieces that aren't necessarily connected, and we very likely won't get a chance to talk about everything you read in class. But make sure to read carefully as writers, noting what speaks deeply to you and why. Keep in mind that the next workshop assignment will be a restaurant review, so read as potential critics, culling style and technique regarding food description. Write responses accordingly, and no, you don't have to say something about every single piece in your response for that day.
Also bear in mind that the revision of your memoir assignment is also due next week. Please post your revision and drop off a hard copy outside my office door (double spaced, stapled) no later than Tuesday at 5 p.m.
I will post 6th week Tuesday's reading assignment by Thursday.
Let me know if you have questions, and I look forward to reading the work you generate!
