Spoken Word with Daniel Beaty


I'm going to a writing conference tomorrow, and I will be attending a workshop with Daniel Beaty. I took a workshop with him last year as well. Here's our picture.

Also, enjoy "Knock Knock". He and several other spoken word artists are on YouTube.

Salinger Blog and articles


If you want a little extra credit to begin next semester or you are just interested in J.D Salinger after we read The Catcher in the Rye, here's a blog with several articles devoted to him and his writing since his death yesterday. I also have hard copies of a few articles from the online magazine Slate. Enjoy!

Get caught up and get going on your Holden essay


Tomorrow, we start on the essay on Holden's most important values. I hope you're ready. We've been working toward this for awhile, so make sure you have the reading done and the journaling ready to go. Refer to your calendar for questions about class from day-to-day or see www.msgarrettonline.com and click on Week 16. If you have any questions, please ask. Make sure you attend one session of Cocoa and Cram to help you with your finals and touch base with your Link Leader. Happy New Year!
