writing lies that are true
proposed by aem
in this experimental writing course, we will explore the boundaries of believability, authenticity, and the recently discovered notion of truthiness using forms like listmaking, found texts, and unreliable narrators to get at a more reliable approximation of truth. we will read texts that explore lying, integrity, and irrelevance while creating others that don't.

that sounds great to me. shall we work out more deets when they're both schedulable?

not anything particular. would be nice to link the two classes, run them back to back, or something like that. Students would definitely benefit from the content of each.

Hmmm. Interesting. Similar concepts but vastly different immediate aims and approaches. Have anything in particular in mind?

this really should be combined with my class... or visa-versa... or whatever, similar concepts (http://chicago.thepublicschool.org/class/1309)... thoughts?
