I should have thought of this in class but it didn’t occur to me in time. I suggest that after you’ve completed your essay you put a star next to or underline a sentence or sentences in which you’ve taken a risk or tried something you weren’t sure of.

This is not required. But asking you to consider this question might help you think consciously about experimenting and pushing the boundaries in your writing—something I very much wish to encourage you to do!

See you on Monday.
