Happy Halloween! We will celebrate Halloween, the end of a long month without any holidays or breaks, and, last but not least, the full, solid rough drafts that the class finished and uploaded.
MONDAY/TUESDAY: Journal warm-up. Special Halloween reading of classic American horror writer Edgar Allen Poe's The Cask of Amantillado, The Raven with modern anime-style drawings and lyrics, and a modern sci-fi horror short. I'll bring some treats; feel free to bring food to share with no peanuts or tree nuts, please.
