But Not Today: December 8, 2017

Focus: What is starting to shift inside and outside of 124, and why?

PROJECT PEOPLE: Please bring me a printed copy of your poem today or Monday at the latest. It needs to have your name, the poet's name, and the poem's title on it.

1. Enjoying a few rounds of Socratic ticket musical chairs

2. Indulging in a quick close reading about numbers:

"So thirty women made up that company and walked slowly, slowly toward 124.
It was three in the afternoon on a Friday..."

3. Enjoying our penultimate fishbowl on Beloved: End of Part 2, beginning of Part 3

4. Wrapping up with questions, epiphanies, and kudos


HW for the rest of the semester:

1. Ongoing: Continue working on your paper/project. Since it's the end of the semester, remember that there will not be an opportunity for extensions or revisions.

2. For Friday: Finish Part 2 and read Chapter 1 in Part 3; complete and print a reading ticket (I challenge you to try something new since there are only two reading assignments left). We will start Friday with Socratic musical chairs. 

3. For Monday: FINISH BELOVED and complete your final reading ticket for your final Socratic of the semester; our goal is 100%participation.

4. December 12-13: Poetry papers and project are due. Please not that you will NOT be able to revise these because you won't get them back until your final.

5. For next Friday, December 15: Beloved blog due, along with all make-up work / revisions from the past 6 weeks. I cannot accept work after this date because I won't have time to grade it.
