Week 7 Experiment: Attend or Participate in a Literary Reading
(also weeks 8, 9, and 10)
Now that you have some ideas about what to attend, your assignment is to get out and go
to one (or more). You’re required to attend or participate in at least one reading between
now and March 14. Attend the reading and write it up using the directions below. If you
attend or participate in more than one reading, it’s good for extra credit, so go for it!
Options:
You may attend a literary reading as a member of the audience.
You may attend and participate in a literary or open mic reading.
Write-Up:
Write up two or three pages about the event.
 First SUMMARIZE the event. Where was it, who read, how many people were
there, what was the content of the reading? What was the setting? Who was in the
audience?
 Second, RESPOND TO the event. What did you like or love or hate ? What was
boring? What was exciting? What did you learn from the experience? If you read,
what was that experience like for you? Would you do this again?
You must attend 1 literary reading for Experiment credit for weeks 7, 8, 9, and 10.
If you attend 2, you get extra credit, so go for it.
FINAL DATE to submit write-up: FRIDAY, MARCH 16.
