REMINDERS FOR THE WEEKEND:

Your 1-2 paragraph FOCUSED analysis of ONE aspect of Kipling's poem "The White Man's Burden" is due in class on Monday--we will peer critique and discuss on Tuesday. 

The "did you read it" test for the Poisonwood Bible is on MONDAY. 

You may begin reading Heart of Darkness (Conrad) this weekend, if you wish. As it is a very short book, we are going to read it in about a week. Plan accordingly. Bring the text to class every day starting Monday.

Don't forget to be reading in one of the four "allusion categories" we discussed (the Bible, Shakespeare, fairy tales/"kiddie" lit., or mythology). Your project is looming just 5 weeks from now! More TBA soon!

Quick reminders for the end of September: 

Syllabus signatures were due Monday, Sept. 16. They are now late. Turn them in anyway!

If you miss a class, you need to get a copy of the handout or activity from a classmate or from the teacher. Extra copies can be made/found in B225. Be proactive and ask for work you missed immediately upon your return!

Upcoming AP practice: 1st AP style essay practice will be Thurs/Fri, Sept 26-27, in class. Check out the "AP Writing Expectations" link on this webpage if you are nervous about AP level essays.
