TODAY IN CLASS
A start on the Sound Track Presentations--technological difficulties of one sort or another set us back a bit, but we shall prevail!  And I really enjoyed the music I heard today, and look forward to hearing the full selections as well as  reading all of your insightful connections.

Regarding tomorrow:  In finishing the presentations,your group MUST adhere to the time limits (5-7 min.). Aim for 5 minutes if you can. Decide what's MOST important, and focus on just a couple of things.

FOR TOMORROW
The passages to analyze for the other group piece of work were assigned by the "luck of the draw."  If you were absent today, please contact someone in your group to learn which one you need to annotate for tomorrow.   The full list of passages is available here:  Passage Selections

The annotation is via note-taking; too often a printed passage is "annotated" by a host of underlinings and circlings without sufficient commentary.  If you have to take notes, you will need to say why. This can be MESSY, in cryptic shorthand notes, disorganized (probably just working through the passage, and otherwise pretty rough.  BUT you will need to have it out.  I will check to see that you made an honest, earnest, group-worthy effort.

The process from this point on is explained in the assignment hand-out linked   here .  I will have print-outs of this in class tomorrow.  (By then I might even have decided what the actual word limit is.)
