Required Texts/Materials
Bernays, Ann and Pamela Painter. What If? 2nd ed. New York: HarperCollins College Publishers, 1999. ISBN 0-673-99002-8.
(tOFP note: Bernays and Painter have released a third edition of the book. I've not gone back and checked to see if the writing exercises all match up, but most if not all of the ones I reference in the 2nd edition made it into the 3rd. Either will work in completing the course material.)
Kenison, Katrina, ed. Best American Short Stories. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, (Most Recent Edition).
1 one-inch three-ring binder, with at least twenty tabbed dividers.
