Welcome to "Writing about Modern Literature": First Day, First In-Class Assignment

 

Write one word that doesn't exist in any English-language dictionary. It should resemble English, but look like a mistake.

Write it large-ish in the center of a piece of blank paper w/o embellishment. Use a bold-line Sharpie.

Take a separate sheet of paper and write your own definition for your neologism (new word). 

For next Wednesday's class, carefully read this article:
