Martian Chronicles - Cont.

Please continue to read The Martian Chronicles. We will be moving to a new author and collection approximately next week.

In lab:
1. Please continue to post comments and questions about the book or stories on the forum. Each serious post is worth participation credit.
2. Please continue to workshop and provide valuable feedback to the writing submitted by your workshop fellows. Each serious post is worth participation credit.
3. Complete your "1st draft" of the story based on Damon Knight's chapter on Hearing/Seeing/Fred, taking into consideration his advice about short fiction. This draft should be completed today (or by Wednesday at the latest). Please attach brainstorming homework to your completed or expanded 1st draft.
4. If you need to, read Martian Chronicles during class.
