Sunday, Nov. 29:  I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving holiday.  It was a wonderful week, but it went by too quickly.  I have graded your documented essays, and I will return these tomorrow.  As you can see from the syllabus, this week is quite busy as I attempt to work in a few more "Greats" from American literature.  I am asking that you do some reading and writing throughout the week for homework to make class time more efficiently spent.  Please come to class prepared each day.  I will be taking up work, some counting as daily work and some as writing grades.  Next week, we will focus our attention on a Shakespeare play The Taming of the Shrew. We may take a look at excerpts from Julius Caesar as well. Print your syllabus and other handouts for the week.  I am looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow.
