On your ballot, please also note the reasons of your choices. Bring your votes to class on Monday morning, Nov. 28. While you are seminaring on Joy Luck Club, faculty will put together a final play list utilizing the results of your collective voting.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving break!
Character Development Performance Project Groups
Here is the list of 16 performance groups, put together with the help of Amanda Brian:
Please follow Stephanie’s suggestion: The author of each “I Am From Character Sketch” should make copies of his/her/their work for the group members, so the group can have a good thorough study of the original piece together. The thorough study of the original piece should precede any steps of dramatic improvisation and collaboration.
Every member of the group has to individually submit the final script to the assignment page titled “Character Development Group Script.” Failure to do so will be considered a missing assignment for the final evaluation.
Rose’s Conference Schedule
Please refer to this final, cleaned-up schedule for your conference time. Rose’s office is COM 357.
