Dear class,
Thank you for engaging with Poe’s weird and wild text yesterday.
Thank you also for engaging on the topic of bringing hard copies of the readings. Whenever there are readings that need to be printed, please use your daily quota to print, staple, and bring to class. As you could tell yesterday, a lack of hard copies makes it really hard to get through the lesson – and also to get the most out of this class experience! If for whatever reason you have issues printing, please contact me in advance.
Please note that I did not count the first quiz towards your grade. There will be a second quiz, in the same format, on Thursday, Sept. 19. [UPDATED 9/14) The quiz will cover Dracula 1-9, the highlighted sections of the Radcliffe essay, and “Usher.” Quizzes will usually happen on Thursdays this semester.
For homework, please enjoy the first 4 chapters of Dracula! Read the prompts to get a sense of the content in these chapters. Group 1, you’re up for the next round of critical responses. Please contact me if/when you have questions about the prompts.
Also, Blog Group 1, comments for this week will be due by 5 pm tomorrow.
See you soon!
