As we settle into our rhythm for the semester, I have a few reminders:
Discussion Questions: I will post a set of questions here on the blog about each text that we read. You should be answering a minimum of one question per week. You can either answer a question directly or post a response as a comment on one of your classmates’ responses. If you scroll down, you can see that I have posted two sets of questions so far – last week’s post about “Du Tenth Sinks the Jewel Box in Anger” and this week’s post about Tartuffe.
Textbook: Unless I specify otherwise, all of our readings come from the three volume Norton Anthology of World Literature. This is a required text, and you should have the appropriate volume with you at each class session. Not having the books yet is NOT an excuse for coming to class unprepared. If you are still waiting for your books, you can borrow the text for a few hours at a time from the Reserve Desk in the Newman Library. Don’t forget that we are using the Third Edition!
Introductions: Last week you posted short introductions about yourself to the blog. This week I would like you to read your classmates’ posts and comment on a minimum of three introductions. If you haven’t yet posted an introduction, know that this assignment is now overdue, and get it done as soon as possible.
Reading: For Wednesday, Sept. 6th, please read Acts I and II of Tartuffe, a play by the French playwright Moliere. Please complete the play by Monday, Sept. 11th.
