Jerzhttp://jerz.setonhill.edu In the past, students have written their own fiction or poetry, that responds to the literary works we have studied. They have written and performed songs (in person and via YouTube). For example, Katie Lantz wrote a song and posted it to YouTube, synthesizing and commenting on the whole semester.

Be ambitious. Be interesting. Be surprising. Be interactive.
