Upcoming Assignments and Tests
From the past:  There are still some people missing parts of work from when I was gone (or for a person or two, even earlier).  I'll get that sorted out ASAP, but if you know you missed the multiple choice exam on Friday, Nov. 7, please try to make it up Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning. Thanks to the individual who came in today!

1) Start reviewing short fiction (all short stories plus Metamorphosis) for a mid-semester accountability process before we move on.  This material will NOT be covered on the final exam for this semester, so the following work counts as major assessments.

• A two-part test on Monday, Nov. 24:  Part I = a data-oriented objective quiz over elements from the various stories.  (I don't mean "elements of fiction" here; I am referring to concrete details from the various stories.)
• Part II = A"solid sentence"/Essential similarities or differences section. Yes, I will explain.
• A packet of three micro-essays; more info to be provided by Wednesday--due Thursday or so after Thanksgiving.  You should be able to get one or two done before the break, and non-travelers can easily finish over break.  But the extra allowance is given to provide individual flexibility (starting on Wednesday). 

2) Heart of Darkness Reading

For tomorrow--Get Marlow to Africa and through the paragraph about a boiler wallowing in the grass. You don't need to go on to the clank of chains paragraph that follows.

For Wednesday, Nov. 19:  Finish Part I

For Friday, Nov. 21:  Finish Part II

For Tuesday, Nov. 25:  Finish Part III 

Life is good; you'll be fine.
