10:00 am: Gif-O-Rama


October 21, 2020

Each semester, faculty and students in the English Department have offered a workshop where we create memes and gifs together. Totally playful, informal gathering. This semester, we are meeting from 10:00am-12:00pm on Oct 21 via Zoom. The workshop will be led by Dr. Corey Sparks and I'll be joining about 10:30am. Again, totally casual; people will drop in and drop out throughout the 2 hours. Come hang out with us if you want and we can create memes and gifs together, which you could use for your Sunday assignment: link here to more information. And, even if you can't join, that link has some resources for creating gifs that you might find useful.

Make Cycle 2 & Golden Lines

Hello again everyone, First of all, really beautiful work with the mentor texts. You did a fabulous job noticing the structures of these texts like the repetition of names, the use of features like italics or dialogue or lines breaks for impact. I also appreciate how many of you connected with the story of Maria …
