Daily Update
Today's class was split between the old and the new. First, you read your final drafts of your Character Analysis essay to a group of your peers (after some prodding, for some of you!). Once you'd finished reading and responding to some questions on the back of your drafts, we discussed your assignment for your first Literary Analysis essay, which we'll be working on until spring break.
For those of you who missed class today, please note that your essay is now late! Also, it's important that you go to the Week 5 folder of Angel to get the new assignment. You'll also see I included links to three websites I think will help you as you work on your literary analysis.
Homework Reminder
There is one slight change to the homework for Wednesday, or, rather, an addition: you need to read through William Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily" along with the reading listed on the syllabus.
Although you don't have any writing to do specifically for Wednesday, the reading listed on the syllabus is very important. You need to read chapter 7 of Literature for Composition through page 197, which includes two sample student literary analysis essays. Also, you need to read Joyce Carol Oates' "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?" and "A Rose for Emily," as listed above. Check the syllabus and the essay assignment for page numbers. See how I'm trying to make you look at your syllabus and assignment? Clever, aren't I?
See you Wednesday...
