Homework for Thursday, Jan. 13 (Day 5), and Friday, Jan. 14 (Day 6)
No additional reading. We will discuss the comic pieces that were assigned for Tuesday and Wednesday but that we didn't get to in class. Also, give some thought to pieces you would like to write but have never had a chance to. This could be a nonfiction piece on any topic, of any length, in any nonfiction genre. We won't start writing it until February, but I'd like you to start thinking about what that might be now.
