Today we will continue working on the final project.  Please pay attention as I explain how to document the various sources that inform your essay.  Next week is the last week of class and a short essay assignment will be asked of you, the topic of which we can discuss today, or not.  I will say the final will involve a short reading from recent news or the blogosphere and an response from you.

Extra Credit:  Go to the Modern Love column at the New York Times online.  Choose from the recent or archived essays one that appeals to you.  All are first-person narrative essays on the subject of romantic love.  Briefly describe (include title and author and post date) the content and then respond to the work by drawing out the associations and thoughts it gives rise to in you.  You may include a story of your own that serves as commentary or illustration of what you find interesting in the piece. 400-500 words, titled.
