The statue is now in decay, with only fragmented legs and a shattered face remaining. An inscription on the pedestal proclaims "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

To submit your work, create a message, title it with your name, and post your work. You can either copy/paste your work into the message body, or provide a link to a Google Doc. If you provide a link to a Google Doc, you must be certain to set sharing permissions so your group members and I can read your work.
2. Read your group members’ work, and compose a thoughtful response to each work using the “Workshop Response” guidelines below. To respond to group member’s work, simply respond to each person’s message and type your work.
Below you’ll find detailed info on these requirements and step-by-step instructions on what to do.
Workshop Groups
Workshop groups have been randomly selected, and will be posted on the Workshop 1 page on our Canvas site. Each workshop group has its own discussion forum thread on Canvas, which you can find on the Workshop 1 page.
NOTE ON DEVELOPING YOUR FIRST DRAFT: If you’re struggling to find ideas for your Workshop 1 creative work, you can use the “Finding Your Work” exercise at the end of this document.This exercise will lead you through a series of steps to help you develop an idea for your story/poetry. This exercise is not required. You don’t need to submit the results. It isn’t graded. It’s purely an exercise to help you develop your first draft, it’s entirely optional, and it’s purely for own personal use.
NOTE ON POETRY FORMATTING: Poetry may be single-spaced. Underline and/or boldface poem titles, and leave a little white space between poems—just enough to show readers where one poem ends and the next one begins. DO NOT try to get away with placing one extremely short poem on each page, just to reach the page limit.
NOTE ON WHERE ALL OF THIS IS HEADING: Workshop 1 is about exploring your creative ideas in multiple genres (fiction AND poetry). For Workshop 2, you’ll choose ONE genre (fiction OR poetry) to develop from your Workshop 1 draft. At the end of our class, you’ll submit copies of your Workshop drafts along with other materials in a final portfolio, which including another draft of your story/poetry.
· After Workshop 1, you have the freedom to choose to write either a story or a collection of poems. Not both. The final draft of your story will be 8-10 pages long. The final draft of your poetry collection will be 7-9 pages long (any number of poems).
· If you choose to write poetry, .

1. Putting the “Composition” into Composition 2
• You are LEARNING ABOUT FICTION in order to WRITE ABOUT FICTION
• The skills you use to write about fiction, you can then use in real life
to write about incident reports, peer reviews, etc.
• We will start by writing an ACADEMIC PARAGRAPH
• Next week, we will write an ESSAY, which will include:
• An introductory paragraph
• 2 or more academic paragraphs, and
• A concluding paragraph
2. The Academic Paragraph (with an Example)
ACADEMIC PARAGRAPHS, in literary analysis, exist to communicate ONE (1) specific
insight about a story, poem, or play. This time, we’re doing short stories.
WHY WRITE? Consider Comic-Con, book clubs, and fandoms (like Trekkers or
Browncoats). Also, this develops your ability to look at evidence and build a theory
based on that evidence—a good skill to have in law, in medicine, in business, etc.

“. . .writing fiction doesn’t have any clear hierarchy. You can’t say that you must understand plot before
dialogue, description before point of view, or even beginnings before endings. There’s no rational order or
sequence in which those elements must be learned. They’re all necessary.”
–Jerome Stern, Making Shapely Fiction
“You should write because you love the shape of stories and sentences and the creation of different words on a
page. Writing comes from reading, and reading is the finest teacher of how to write.”
- Annie Proulx, author of Close Range: Wyoming Stories

also a great place to purchase your books. betterworldbooks.com is my personal favorite online book
peddler (usually cheap, used books).
SUPPLEMENTAL READINGS
I will assign a few short stories from the web in the beginning of the semester to give you time to
purchase books and when it comes time to discuss Second-Person Narration near the end of the
semester. They will be free and accessible on our course’s Bblearn page.
PODCAST LISTENINGS
Some of this course’s required readings will actually be listenings. Listening to a story out loud can help
you absorb it in different ways. Hearing pro-writers and editors talk about stories as they do on the New
Yorker Fiction Podcast was very important to my own development as a writer and I’d like to share that
experience with you. The podcasts will be free and linked-to on the course’s BBlearn page. You may also
find the assigned episodes on apps such as Sticher (https://www.stitcher.com/) or Apple’s Podcast app. I
recommend using these app if available to you so you can walk and enjoy the podcasts at the same time.
The two podcasts we will most often listen to are episodes from The New Yorker Fiction Podcast and
The Writer’s Voice.

on).
Reading and Listening
As Proulx says, “reading is the finest teacher of how to write.” Thus, we will read and listen to the above listed
collections and podcasts to better understand how to write fiction effectively. I expect you to read closelyfor
craftand writerly “moves”,and annotate the margins of the stories as you go (i.e. “WOW,how’d they do that?”,“!!!”,
“???”, “CoolImage.”, “Toomuch dialogue. . .I don’t know where I am,” “My disbelief is so suspended right now”,
“Wait,what? Confusing.”, “ILove this.”, “Wow,whata lede,” etc.).For podcasts, consider taking notes on a notepad
or notebook. Protip: When listening to podcasts on a walk or doing dishes, etc., verbally ask Siri (or yourphone/
computer bot) to make a note foryou.
Writing/Reading Notebook
Please dedicate a paper notebook to the course. This will serve as a depository for all freewrites, writing
sketches, reflections, and daily ruminations. This notebook will be checked at random times throughout the
semester for grading purposes.
I also recommend a small, pocket-sized notepad to keep with you throughout the day so you may record
thoughts, images, first-lines, etc. This is not required, however.
Feedback and Workshop
You’ll receive comments in class or in small-group conferences on some of your writing, and written feedback
on other pieces. Oral and written feedback will include what aspects of the piece are most successful and
4. ENGL 101 Syllabus, pg. 4
engaging, aspects that could use continued work, as well as possible other directions you might take the piece.
Clearly, feedback on creative work is somewhat subjective, but we will work to read as informed readers, and
will explain our criteria and perspectives.
At the end of the semester, each of you will select one expanded piece you’ve written to be workshopped by
the full class. This can be Story 1, 2, or 3. Note: It is imperative that you come prepared with typed notes for
your classmates about their stories, as mentioned in the Course Requirements/Evaluations section above.
Workshop Written Responses
Two copies of your story critique are due on the day a story is discussed in Workshop. One goes to the author,
the other to me.
Format for Assignments
Please format all assignments with the following style guidelines (ala MLA):
Times New Roman, 12-point font
Double-spaced
Paginated (add page numbers)
With your name at the top.
Oh, and give all stories titles, even if it’s a working title.
GRADING
A word on grades and art: Becoming a “real” writer requires that you take risks with your work. I will never
“grade” early drafts of your fiction—stories will be given full credit if your story has a beginning, middle, and
end, an honest effort is put forth, and your story is turned in on time. All other assignments, such as writing
exercises and workshop letters, will simply be graded to completion. If you did what was required of you, A! If
you did not, a suitable point reduction will be given to the assignment. For point total breakdown, see Course
Requirements/Evaluation section above.
CLASS FORMAT (Until further notice)
Synchronous Monday, Wednesday, and Friday Meetings via Zoom:
For the first unit at least, we will meet “in-person” on Zoom during the allotted class time and have an
engaging conversation and perform virtual activities. The assigned readings, listenings and writings—
homework—for the given day will prompt and guide our conversations. Please come prepared, having read or
written what was assigned for that particular class meeting with notebook and books nearby (See schedule on
BBlearn for assignment due dates, etc.).
COURSE POLICIES
Participation
If you put in a good-faith effort, be good to your peers, take your work and your peer’s work seriously,
show up to class (unless you have a tech issue or a COVID-related issue), and come prepared, you will
5. ENGL 101 Syllabus, pg. 5
very likely get an A in this course. With that said, please email me and let me know if you can’t make it to
one of our class meetings. No need to offer details—just let me know you won’t make it. If you miss class
regularly, I will reach out to you to check in. If it becomes a lasting issue thereafter, a reduction to your
final grade may be in order.
Also note that your daily participation is tied to your attendance—if you come to class, virtually or
physically, unprepared (don’t have the text with you, you haven’t read the assignment, you don’t have
your assigned writing done, or you refuse to interact or engage with course activities), you will not
receive credit for attending class that day. If a lack of participation becomes a lasting issue, a reduction to
your final grade may be in order.
For Workshop days, participation includes giving full respect to your peers by carefully reading and
annotating their manuscripts before their scheduled workshop and showing up for their day. Failure to
come prepared for a workshop, your own workshop, or any other class meeting may result in a point
reduction to your final grade. Please let me know in advanced via email if you won’t be able to make it to
your own workshop for any reason. Again, no details necessary. Just let me know so I can plan ahead.
Tardy Policy
Please do your best to make it to our class meetings on time. It is disruptive to the class flow when
someone shows up late, even on Zoom.
Classroom citizenship.
The classroom (and virtual classroom) is a learning community. Be respectful of your fellow students and
your instructor in all communications. If you have a problem with anything in the course, let me know
through email or schedule a Zoom meeting with me to discuss. Disruptive behavior during class
discussions and on discussion boards may result in expulsion from a class meeting or the entire course.
Email etiquette. I welcome your emails and questions–if you have questions about the course, your
work, meeting times, etc., please do not hesitate to contact me at the address listed above or on the
BbLearn home page. When you contact me, please treat it as a professional correspondence—your
message should have a greeting, be written in complete sentences, and signed with your name at the
bottom. Generally, you can expect a response during regular business hours, sometimes later (Monday-
Friday, 8 AM-5 PM).
Deadlines. Meeting deadlines is one of the most important things to do if you want to be a successful
writer. According to Neil Gaiman, a successful writer needs to 1.) be kind and easy to work with, 2.)
produce great work, and 3.) meet deadlines. For this course, stories may be accepted late if prior
arrangements are made 48 hours in advance of deadline, when an extension may be granted. Since this is a
graded gig and not a paying gig, 5 points will be subtracted from the final grade of the assignment
for each day late. A zero will be given to assignments that are more than one week late.
Original Writing. Of course, all work for this class must be written for this class and must be written by
you. Reusing an assignment or story completed for another class, or back in high school or elsewhere,
constitutes academic dishonesty.
Academic Dishonesty. Academic dishonesty, including inappropriate collaboration, will not be tolerated
in this course. There are severe sanctions for cheating, plagiarizing, and any other form of dishonesty to
include suspension or expulsion from the UI. Please read the document labeled “Statement on Plagiarism”
on our BbLearn site for more information on plagiarism.
6. ENGL 101 Syllabus, pg. 6
The public nature of class writing and discussion. Please consider every piece of writing you do for this
class to be “public property.” Part of becoming a good writer is learning to appreciate the ideas and
criticisms of others, and in this course our purpose is to come together as a writing community.
Remember that you will often be expected to share your writing with others, so avoid writing about
things that you may not be prepared to subject to public scrutiny, or things that you feel so strongly about
that you are unwilling to listen to perspectives other than your own. This does not mean that you are not
entitled to an opinion, but that you adopt positions responsibly, contemplating the possible effect on
others.
