Welcome to this blog! Authors are students in the College of Charleston course “Charleston Writers” taught in Spring 2022 as ENGL 360/AAST 300. Like the authors on our syllabus, we’re all writing about Charleston and responding to other writers’ interpretations of our city and region.

On the top menu bar you can see the three kinds of assignments students will be doing here. (Drections  and schedule are also on OAKS.) Groups of students will post each type of assignment at different times throughout the semester.

To post to this blog. login and then go to “Posts” and then choose “Add New.”

For posts that require images, click the “Add Media” button to upload your images, which you can then resize or arrange. It’s not too difficult to figure out, but you may wish to “Preview Changes” (in the right-hand corner) to see what it will look like when you publish.

Please give a title to your post that includes the type of assignment you’re doing (i.e., “Location: Searching for Madame Margot” or “Discussion: Charleston Outsiders” or “Resource: Denmark Vesey’s Garden, Part I.” Please be sure to sign your posts.
