‘One
day when I was twenty-three or twenty-four this sentence seemed to form
in my head, without my willing it, much as sentences form when we are
half-asleep, ‘Hammer your thoughts into unity’.
For days I could think of nothing else and for years I tested all I did
by that sentence [...]” William Butler Yeats (cited in Frank Tuohy, Yeats,
1976, p.51 )

PROJECT 2 SPECIAL OPTION
Here is an option for Project 2A and 2B for those who are feeling overwhelmed at this point in the semester and think they will have more time at the end.
Normally, project 2A and 2B are formal writing. (If you repeat errors from Project 1 they will be heavily penalized.) 150 points are at stake for formal writing in Project 2A and for project 2B an additional 100 points are at stake for formal writing. (250 total)
Instead, you can choose to transform your first project into a BOT and a place in the MOO with 100 points at stake for the informal writing involved in this version of Project 2A and 50 points at stake for the informal writing involved in this version of Project 2B. (150 total) See
Then at the end of the semester your LR Final would be worth not 50 but 150 points and would become formal writing. Formal writing for the LR Final would not require more research but would require as near perfection as you can get in grammar, punctuation, etc. (If you repeat errors from Project 1 in your 150 point LR final they will be as heavily penalized as they would be in the regular 250 point Project 2.)
Normal Requirements for 1A, 2A
