A couple of things you’ll want to get working on for our next meeting on Tuesday:
- Keep working on your group annotations of “The Waste Land.” Remember what we agreed to in class: seven or eight annotations of at least 200 words per group. Each group should make its annotations on the “clean” copy of the poem. Since other non-class readers may be digesting your annotations, think about the richness and design of the annotations – – e.g. images, links, etc. Organize your group’s annotations by tag, e.g. “rivers”, “zombies,” etc. I’ll be offering feedback on your annotations starting Sunday evening.
- Read Langston Hughes’ essay, “The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain” (1926). Annotating the essay is not required, but is welcomed and advised. (In other words, extra credit points for annotating the essay.)
- Open Gradebook Day will be on Thursday, October 22!
