Class #4: February 3, 2016: ASSIGNMENTS: Informal Writing #1

Informal #1: Examine the "alternative" forms of narrative presented in class today. You can read "Fun Home" by Allison Bechdel. Or, you can listen to episode one of Serial right here.

Please read/listen to both pieces. 

After experiences both pieces, please respond in writing to one of them. Your Informal #1 writing piece (a page and a half typed) will discuss each in terms of the "narrative." By that, I mean how do they succeed in telling the story. Your analysis can be as easy as answering:

1. What do you like about the piece?
2. What intrigued you? Why?

You can also use the writing assignment to make sense of the piece. What does it mean? Why do the very different stories explored here NEED to be told?

Also, rewrite Informal #1 based on today's assignment.
