Hi Everyone,
We won’t be starting our online assignments until next week, but I wanted to check in to see how you are doing? I hope you are continuing to make some progress on your Literary Analysis essays, but I understand that it might be challenging with so much going on in the world. Please feel free to send me your drafts via email this week, so that I can comment on them and give you some guidance.
I miss you, and I miss the rhythm of the work week. I am guessing that some of you are feeling anxious or disconnected too, so I just wanted to invite you to stay in communication with me and with your classmates. To that end, I would love to know what’s going on with you. How are you practicing “social distancing”? How is your family managing with all this stress and uncertainty? What are you most worried about? How are you spending the time when you would ordinarily be in school or doing homework? Feel free to share your response as a comment to this post. Also, if it feels more comfortable, you can also reach out to me personally — particularly if there is something going on that you need real, practical help with. Remember – I am your professor, but I am also a mom, a giver of free advice, and a fellow New Yorker; I am here to help you get through this crazy time!!!
Take care (and keep washing your hands!)
Professor Sylvor
