Books
- Charters, Ann. The Story and Its Writer 6th edition.
Note: all short stories will be found in this book. We will be using this book first, so it should be your priority.
-
Atwood, Margaret. Cat's Eye
- King, Stephen. Carrie
All of these books are available at the Parkland bookstore.
Page numbers are based on those editions. Please let me know if
you have another, so I can put up section indications.
Technology
- Regular and reliable access to the Internet.
This one's a gimme. You cannot complete an on-line class if you cannot get on-line. For this class, you will need to be able to get on-line at least three times a week, and within specific time-frames (between Tuesday and Friday, for example).
- Access to a regular and reliable email account that you check on a regular basis.
In order to sign up for this class, you had to activate/access your Parkland student email account. Personally, I don't care if you use that email or another, as long as it's an account you check several times a week, as I will regularly send out course information via email. As a personal favor to me, please make sure the account is kept current and that you keep an eye on how full your mailbox is. Bouncing messages are no one's friend.
-
Access to our class WebBoard. Go here for directions for creating an account.
- Access either to Microsoft Word or to a word processing program that can be made compatible with MS Word.
I'll talk more about this in the policies section, but simply put: I need to be able to read your papers and exams. I'm more than happy to explain to you how to save the files so I can read them, but you have to be willing to work with me.
It goes without saying (I hope) that you need to know how to use a computer. In particular, you need to know how to navigate a web page, use email (including sending attachments), and use a word processor. You do not need to know how to use WebBoard; however, you have to be willing to learn.
