Assignment for Thursday, Jan. 18, Friday, Jan. 19, Monday, Jan. 22, and Tuesday, Jan. 23

Thursday (Day 6): Finish "Story of Your Life" (to p. 145). You will also have a short in-class writing assignment on Chiang's stories, and then we'll begin watching Arrival.

For Friday (Day 1): Read this short article about how Ted Chiang's "Story of Your Life" became the movie Arrival. Then read this longer New Yorker profile of Ted Chiang, "Ted Chiang's Soulful Science Fiction." Also, read the guides to research writing posted to the right that are appropriate to your kind of research writing. We will begin the research writing during Friday's class.

For Monday (Day 2) and Tuesday (Day 3), have two pages (or the equivalent) written for the STP research writing. Be prepared to share it with me via Google Classroom. (We will begin the transition to Google Classroom during class.)
