Grades have been updated in Blackboard. Please check these to make sure they are in line with what you think you turned in.
As of this morning, only four students have emailed me a screenshot of their proof that they completed the course eval! (There's a link below to accessing this, and I will reiterate that I will award you an extra credit participation point--which works out to be about 3% of your total participation grade-- if you do this. PLEASE, PLEASE do this, even if you don't need the extra credit. I will love you forever if you just DO THE EVAL.
Portfolios are due WEDNESDAY, DEC 14, by 12:30 P.M. in your student folder of Dropbox. If for some reason you doubt it is uploading to Dropbox properly, email it to me. Better to be safe. The portfolio is worth a whopping 50% of your total grade, and I WILL NOT ACCEPT IT LATE. As in, if you turn the Portfolio in at 12:45, you will fail my class.
I just want to say again what a total pleasure it was to teach this class, and I wish you all the very best, both in your submission (woohoo! first submission!) and in your writing lives. Please keep in touch. The email that will work best for this is writercynthiahand@gmail.com. Let me know the outcome of your submissions! And please, feel free to use me as a reference and approach me if you feel you're ready to start trying to get published.
I'm eager to read your portfolios!

Extra Credit Events
As I've said before, you can get extra participation points by attending writing/author events in the area this semester. To get the points, please write a paragraph or two about the event, and what you took away from it in terms of writing knowledge.
Here's an incomplete list of things I know will be happening in Boise for the few few months. I'll update this as we go along.
October 7th, 7:30 p.m. Vincent Toro, the Cabin. Free admission.
October 13, 7pm. My own event and book signing with the Lady Janies at Bishop Kelly High School. This is a paid event, ($10?) and will have copies of all of our individual books available to sign as well. We have a fun presentation planned. I will give double points for attending this, as well.
October 14th, 7:30 p.m. John Beer, BSU Hemingway building, free admission.
October 15, all day. The Boise Book Festival. I will be there with the Janies. I'm doing a panel on writing "swoon -worthy dialogue" earlier int he day, and signing with the Janies in the afternoon. I will give you double points for attending this one. I think there is a student discount.

Reading Tonight
Tonight there's going to be a reading that I will give you extra credit to attend. It's one of the Campfire series at the Modern Hotel here in Boise. It's also fun. This month it's journalists discussing what stories have resonated in Idaho.
Here's the link to the Facebook event page.

To get the extra credit, just write a paragraph or two about what the vent was like and what you learned from it. You'll receive an extra participation point.
