Agenda for Monday, October 18

 

1–Freewrite and checking in

 

2–Pop Quiz #2–On BlackBoard.

I will post it just before class on Monday. Just like last week, the quiz will be due before 10:30. Turning in the quiz after this time will result in a “late” designation—but I will still accept it.  After you finished, please return to the Zoom…I’ll be here.

 

3–Go over quiz and discuss Hemingway’s story.

 

4–Modernism/Modernity: What makes these films modern? Also, what makes Hemingway’s story confusing or frustrating? Are there any gothic elements, or is it fully a modernist story?

 

5–Midterm Gothic Essay: Thesis and Method help—see handout

 

Homework for Wednesday, Oct 20:
1–Read “The Veldt” by Bradbury (Readings menu tab). Come to class ready to talk about its experimental nature and use of technology to make a point about society.
2—Write a one page outline (approx. 200 words) for the Midterm Gothic Essay and post it to OpenLab in the category: Midterm Essay (this assignment is worth 10 points). Students can use either bullet-point format or paragraph format.

 

Let me know via email if you have any questions.

Best,

Prof. Scanlan
