Student Meetings Cancelled 10/19
Unfortunately, Prof. Chin is ill, so today all student meetings for ENH 213 & ENL 440 are cancelled.
Students will meet in their regularly scheduled classrooms on Monday. You will be given instruction on the make-up meetings then. See homework (due Monday) for your class below.
ENH 213
Novella Carpenter's "Farm City" is due. Answer the following questions based on p.1-111:
1. Describe the opening chapter. Why does NC start the book this way? How would it have been different if she decided to start the narrative with Chapter 2 instead?
2. Who are the various characters/groups described in the first 3 Chapters?
3. List three of the biggest challenges to keeping an urban farm.
4. Who are Harold & Maude?
ENL 440
Write up a detailed pitch about your subculture (1 extensive paragraph). Try to include the 5 Ws of Journalism: who, what, when, where, why, and lastly, how? Include info on at least one-two people you will be interviewing. Remember, your subculture should be one in which you will have plenty of opportunities to do reporting. Events which you don't have access to cannot be covered and therefore are not appropriate for this assignment.
