Hi Class,

Sorry class, I know some students wanted one-on-one help today.

Seems I have a cold of some sort (I’m testing for Covid every day, and so far I’m negative). It hurts to too much to talk for an hour.

Please email your questions, and I’ll do my best to respond quickly.

Cheers,

Prof. Scanlan

Homework:

1–Read Induction and Act I of The Taming of the Shrew — in Readings menu tab. [I swapped out the versions of this play–I think this Folder version is easier to read and follow as it has more stage directions]

2–Read assignment instructions for Translation Essay, then write 100 word introduction and thesis paragraph. Be prepared to read your introduction in class for 5 participation points on Tuesday. Of course, if you want to write more than a 100 words, that’s great. But you only need to read the first paragraph or so.
