<DIV>Dear Parents:</DIV>
<DIV>I am very excited about teaching a new course I recently proposed:
"Reading and Writing the Short Story." The structure will be as
follows:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> 1st Quarter: The Memoir</DIV>
<DIV> 2nd Quarter: The Conventional Short Story</DIV>
<DIV> 3rd Quarter: The Mystery Story</DIV>
<DIV> 4th Quarter: The Children's Story</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Could you help me find some speakers for this course? If you know
anyone who writes in one of these genres and would be willing to share his
or her work and talk with the students about the craft of writing, I would
appreciate your help. I know that the Bay Area has a very rich literary
community and I want to tap it. You can find a description of the course
at:</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I am looking forward to teaching your great kids as much
as ever as I approach my 20th year at BHS.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Cheers,</DIV>
<DIV> David Bye</DIV>
