Announcements, Sept 10

Thanks for engaging in today’s class and pushing past our “uncanny” experience of a malfunctioning computer…!

Here’s a recap of tasks for Thursday:

Read + annotate “Fall of the House of Usher.” Even if you’re not writing a critical response, read the prompts (hover over “Critical Response Prompts”) before you start reading Poe’s story.

-Bring one important fact about American history 1800-1839. It could be a key battle, the passing of a law, an acquisition of a state, a politician coming to power, etc.

-Blog group 3 members write a 250 word response to one of the prompts by Thursday at 11 am.

Blog group 1 members have comments on this week’s responses due Friday at 5 (2 comments minimum)

Finally, I decided not to count today’s quiz! Hopefully now you have a sense of the format for next time.
