For Thursday (11/7)

Let’s read pages 15 – 27 of Seymour Chatman’s Story and Discourse.  (You may notice that his terminology is a bit different from Aristotle’s or the temporary terms I used to describe narrative on Tuesday.  No worries – – the distinctions are the same even if various narratologists – – yes that’s a word – – quibble about the terms.)

Also, in re Wikipedia: you should have a near-final draft of your article/improvements; this should be in a sandbox page titled, “article draft”; you should have two sets of peer feedback using our rubric; and you have revised your article or otherwise responded to your peer review.  Our next step is to move your article from your sandbox to Wikipedia itself – – i.e. to go “live.”  We’ll review this process in class.

Please take a look at the “Form Analysis Assignment” and bring any questions into class.

Finally, as we round the bend into the home stretch of the semester, we’ll be shifting the direction of the class to you, the students!  Bring your candidate text for our final project to class.  This candidate text should probably be: a televisual narrative; episodic; easily available on most streaming services; a TV/streaming show that you enjoy and have watched in the past.  Otherwise, it’s your call.
