Grading final unessays for my Contemporary American Lit class, which is always a delight. One of my favorite unessays so far (on Ling Ma's _Severance_) is a collection of social media accounts for various characters, as well as the contents of one character's Notes app. The novel is in many ways a meditation on connectivity through technology, so this approach fits perfectly.
For those who asked, here are the guidelines to the unessay project: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UJHZUhFFTyRumdkuRdlBRR43tTCGld0AaEtFE8wpkWI/edit?usp=sharing
@samplereality
when I tried to offer something similar to my students last semester, they were all kinda afraid of it, because I probably didnt give good examples or clear enough instructions - this write up is really well done, thanks for sharing!
@tobbsn This was the 3rd time I've done an unessay, so I had some good examples to share. But yeah, even then, it freaks some students out.
