End Game!


Esteemed Student, I am very excited about your projects! Most of you seem off to a really good start and are coming up with some great stories for your signs. A few of you have some catching up to do, but it is not too late. If you missed class today, make sure to visit or call me ASAP.

As agreed upon today, here is the end game for this class:

  • Today we went over the ghost signs in the database and assigned specific signs to specific students to research in a new column I added at the end of the table. Please check and see if you are signed up correctly. 
  • Please remember to put your images in Dropbox. Also, please try to date your signs as best you can.
  • We will not meet this Thursday or next Tuesday. Use these times for research and writing. In fact the class will meet only one more time: on Thursday, June 6 at 2 p.m. at the Digital Archives.
  • The focus of that last class meeting will be to read and critique the stories. So please have all of your stories finished or as near to finished as possible and bring 8 copies of each (double spaced please) to class. This includes your images, with captions.To save printing maybe just 1-2 copies of your images are sufficient.
  • How long should each story be? Shoot for 500 words. Some of you have come upon big stories that may require more space, but on no account go over 2000 words.Include a bibliography but do not use footnotes. Each story should also include 4-6 images, with captions.
  • After our meeting on the 6th you will have one week to make revisions. Everything is due on Thursday, June 13 at 11:59 p.m. Put your stories as Word docs (no Mac pages files, please) in the new folder created for that purpose. Insert the images into the Word doc, but also save them in the folder. Clearly label everything. 
That is it--we are almost done. I am insanely busy these last weeks just like you, but if you need to see me or talk on the phone I will make it happen. Good luck!
