The Bicentennial Year begins

In two weeks, my classes will begin. The students this term will be crowdsourcing the bulk of the entries for the meme. About 350 entries are up in the database. About 50 are complete from beta testing with earlier classes. By the end of the term, I hope to see most entries complete. I am currently working on the areas of the site, checking and adding links, beginning with the Frankenstein Meme Journal, the online repository of only the best student writing from my graduate classes (about the top 20%), to show off the exceptional achievements students are capable of in work that often disappears from view. There will be one more iteration of the journal culling the best work from the upcoming year, so that issue will be the final thing I do, next December, in completing the site and all that it was conceived to be. (What happens then? Like Victor, I haven’t a clue. First, the obsession and the building of the thing itself.)
