masterpiece theater

Here, in all its glory, is the current list of everyone's masterpiece topic.  They're grouped by class because that's the way I took notes, but I have intentionally mixed up the periods and omitted course/class designations and links.  If you see something you want to learn more about, start a conversation by commenting to this post, commenting to the person's blog, or networking the old-fashioned way and asking around.  For easy reference here is a link to the Expository Composition Member Blogs.  If you see any errors or omissions, or if your topic has evolved, please comment to this post accordingly.  (Tip: one great way to gain followers and begin collaborations is to go on each other's blogs and ask questions about these.  Some of the pairs/triplets are working collaboratively, and others are using the same words to describe very different ideas.)

    2. Micaela and Caroline from period 3 are working with Rachel and I to create a website/blog in the form of a guide directed at independent college students. The blog will also be our views on the transition from high school to college concept. All of us are incorporating our intended majors; Rachel wants to be a teacher so she is using the blog to focus on clearly conveying a message, Micaela's focus is advertising the site, Caroline's focus is posting easy make-up tips for crammed schedules (and more), and my focus is share how to live well on a college budget. We are not limiting ourselves to these ideas but it is the backbone.
      Thank you for correcting!
