Today in class we reviewed the Half the Sky essay. Some students turned in their hand written notes, others gave me the entire package printed out, still others told me to ignore emails sent to me Wednesday evening. If you sent me an assignment and want me to ignore it, tell me in the subject line (and call me).
We also met in groups to talk about the next assignment: The Book Report essay, first task, reading the book (smile). In the second class there is no group for Sula, there is for the first class (8-8:50 AM); in both classes students are reading, The Kite Runner and The Pact.
If students did not divide the reading up, then email each other or call before Monday, we will break into Lit Circles on Tuesday. The books need to be read in two weeks at the most.
SPHE
We are completing exercises in the section on POV in SPHE. How many POVs are there? Which POV is best for academic or scholarly writing? Bring SPHE to class on Monday with exercises completed. We will have a quiz on Monday for POV and complete the essay for Tuesday for the peer review.
We'll start the Be-Verb exercises on Tuesday as well, identify the errors on Wednesday and the essay will be due on Thursday in class. Email it to yourself and bring a copy to class for the peer review. We'll do the be-verb quiz on Thursday.
Play Reading in Class
Ruined, the play by Lynn Nottage is at Berkeley Rep. I think we will read it aloud and I'd like to take a group of students to see it. It is up through April 10, 2011.
We were to read Lysistrata, but since no theatre, I know of, is performing Lysistrata, let's read the play we might have an opportunity to see. The play runs Tuesday-Sunday. What days work for students. Post your availability here.
