Part I: Have your textbooks (Part I & II only). What we do will vary according to where we are in class. We will be reading some of "Medea." You will be expected to read more for homework (lines 646-1094 for odd classes; the point where we finish until line 1094 for even classes).
Wednesday/Thursday
Finish "Medea" in class. Brief discussion/seminar (graded). Expect an in-class essay test on Wednesday/Thursday, November 4/5. Though the prompt will not be revealed to you beforehand, and though the prompts may vary from class to class, each prompt will be designed for the student to answer it by focusing on one of three works: "Medea," "Agamemnon," or 1001 Nights. For example (and this will not be a prompt), I might ask you to look at female characters in one of these works and to analyze what that culture thought about women. As I said, this will not be a prompt, in part because it is way too broad.
Homework: Do vocabulary exercise #5.
Friday:
Check for vocabulary and go over.
Homework: Review "Medea," "Agamemnon," and 1001 Nights and any notes you might have taken for these works. You may not use notes or your text for the test.
