Students in my feature writing are completing a nonfiction writing experiment about their commutes to and from campus. Some are adding pics with their features, some aren’t. The pub date is to begin late this week.
The 299.47 Feature Writing Posse
I’ve been trying to incorporate this assignment in my feature writing classes for almost three semesters but have been thwarted over my inability to assess the wordload. Now, I believe I’ve resolved that concern. Next semester, I’m considering requiring everyone in class to provide pics with their Commutes.
Here’s one of mine, below. The second pic was taken by Ashley Carpenter.
