Hello,
Hope you are enjoying your weekend. As I promised, below is a revised syllabus for the rest of the semester. Please note the changes carefully.
And a reminder--it is a good idea to bring your Between Worlds text to class every day.
It is not necessary to bring your One Amazing Thing novel any more to class.
Also, here is the information about author Chitra Divakaruni's visit to our campus this Thursday. There are two opportunities to attend a short talk by Ms. Divakaruni. I really hope all of you can attend one of the events.
"Where the Wild Stories Are"
"The Stories that Save Us"

"Where the Wild Stories Are"
Reading and Campus Lecture, followed by Book Signing
Provost Charles Gossett will welcome author Chitra Divakaruni, who will read from One Amazing Thing and speak about storytelling. Divakaruni will describe how she developed the ideas for her stories, especially how she came to the idea for One Amazing Thing while evacuating from a hurricane threat. Her talk will explore the idea that each of us has an amazing story in our lives and how to look for their value and importance.
