Seniors: Assignments for 9/11 and 9/12

For Thursday, September 10th: Please write a journal entry responding to some aspect of Joyce's short story Counterparts. For the time being, the only criteria for this journal entry is that is must make at least one claim about the text, with at least one quote to support your claim.

If you are having trouble thinking of a claim to make, please review your notes from today's lesson and re-read the handout that was given to you.

Feel free to post comments and/or questions.

For Friday, September 12th:

Read Joyce's short story Araby, located on page 828 of your textbook (or you can use the link on the post below). Be prepared for a quiz that is similar to the one you took on 9/10. Even though this story is shorter than Counterparts, it requires more in-depth reading. You may even want to read it several times in order to be prepared for the quiz.
