 * __ Product and Timeline details: __**
 * 1. Foundation Essay:** This is your “//piece de resistance//”. It is 500-750 word personal essay (analytical, lyric, exploratory, etc). We have “tried on” different versions of this in class and at home. You will draft and develop something entirely new. This will be due for a grade after the Thanksgiving break and before your showcase. **__DUE DATE: DEC 3__**


 * 2. Three Supplementary Pieces of Creative Nonfiction**: These pieces may also be in a similar essay format, but you also may try writing different forms of creative nonfiction like poetry, lyrics, etc (see full list above):

Draft 1 due in Writing folder **Oct 28** Draft 2 due in Writing folder **Nov 22** Final Version due with Showcase
 * Supplemental Piece #3:** Your choice


 * 3. Other writing and visuals** as needed to demonstrate your insight, engagement and exploration of your evocative concept through reading, viewing, and writing. You should be putting these sources on your website as you find them and keeping neat, labeled notes on each source. I will check these sources and notes in class periodically.


 * 4. Works Cited Annotated**: With each source you find you should cite it on your Works Cited list. You will annotate 5-10 of the major sources ("big rocks"):

One annotated source for revision **Oct 14** Three annotated sources **Oct 26** Final Version due with Showcase


 * 5.** **Showcase**: This is your Google website. Not only should the website contain all final drafts of your foundation essay and final versions of your supplemental writing, but it will also showcase your Works Cited and Annotated Works Cited, and all substantial sources (video clips, links to articles, poems, etc). It is imperative that all links and video clips are working and accessible on your site, and that you make deliberate aesthetic choices when considering the look and function of your site.
