Hello, everyone.
1. The Proposal for the Inquiry Project is due. Please place the following required items in a folder: both copies of the first draft brought to your writing conference with me; both copies of the second draft workshopped by your classmates; and, the final Proposal. Optional: You may also include any extra drafts you created and took to the writing center, for example.
2. You will write a creative essay, "Embodying Your Event," that will require no advance preparation. This creative piece could later be used as part of your Inquiry Project.
3. The actual Inquiry Project will be assigned and reviewed on Thursday, April 4, per the syllabus.

Hi, folks.
1. Come to class ready for some reading and writing related to the Proposal you are now working on. No advance preparation is necessary! We will have a few guest speakers talk about their Inquiry Projects.
2. Email me (filli002@umn.edu) a summary of the comments and suggestions you received from your peers during the workshop of your second draft on Tuesday, March 26. Tell me which suggestions you plan to incorporate, and those you will disregard. Please explain.
Hi, everyone.
