The link to the Week Fourteen assignments are now active. As promised, I kept the reading short and focused on reading about the first, 1621 Thanksgiving. There are only two sources of the first Thanksgiving, and both are only a paragraph long. I also included a Romantic short story on Thanksgiving by Fanny Fern, a famous woman author of the time.
Your main job this week is to produce a draft of your final portfolio's cover essay. In the assignments, I included links to three examples of successful portfolio cover essays from last semester. They should give you a good idea where you are headed, and you should notice that you can update your mid-term reflective essays with new work; so, you won't be writing from scratch. Remember, you are producing a draft of the final essay.
I have looked carefully at the final three weeks of class, and I've decided to limit the introduction of new material, allowing anyone who is willing to work at it to get caught up and successfully complete the portfolio for the course. I will be introducing a few pieces of reading from the colonialization of Virginia, but the writing will all be focused on perfecting the portfolio and class discussion.
