Week of November 2, 2009

Monday/Thursday

Have your textbooks--Volume I & II.

The first part of class is a surprise. I will provide the materials.

We will do small group work on finding common themes/ motifs in Medea, Agamemnon, and Arabian Nights.

Next, we will engage in a larger discussion about all three works.

Homework: Prepare for an in-class prompt/ writing assessment on Wednesday (odd) or Friday (even). Also, do vocabulary exercise 6.

Wednesday/Friday

I will check your vocabulary exercises and go over them quickly. Next, you will be given a prompt and will write for the remaining time. This will be a test grade.

Homework: None. Take a breath. Bring your books to class on block days next week, however.
