Expository Writing: Reminders for 9/18

Reminders for 9/18

1) Your first paper, your review of Some Like It Hot, is due on Wednesday. If you have to miss class, email the paper to me by class time and you'll get full credit for it.

2) Also due this Wednesday is a movie review (any movie review of any movie)
that you can find that is written by an actual professional critic. Bring in a copy of that review and be prepared to explain why you chose to bring that one in.

Future for 9/16

Your second paper (the press release) is due on Monday. We'll be workshopping those papers and also working on finding social-media alternatives to press releases.

Last Wednesday's class, by the way, was awesome! You guys have so much talent. (I'm not just saying this.) All we need to do is figure out how to focus it a bit more.

Future: This & That

Some great questions at our last class meeting. I hope some of you will take Jennifer up on her offer to provide additional help.

For Wednesday's class, we'll explore the challenges of writing about music. It can be tricky to put your thoughts on music into words, especially music without lyrics.

Then we'll move on to writing press releases.
