For Next Week, March 16-March 19

On Tuesday, March 16, and Wednesday, March 17, you will write an in-class essay on Nineteen Eighty-Four. You will have forty minutes to complete the essay. The essay will not address one of the themes that we have discussed in class and that groups have presented on. Instead, you should focus on the the literary elements and the broader ideas that make Nineteen Eighty-Four a unique book. Be sure that you can refer to specific scenes that capture important moments in the novel.

On Wednesday, March 18, and Thursday, March 19, the one-page overview of your final paper is due. (The handout that I distributed in class is posted on the right.) If you don't recall the kinds of sources that are acceptable, click on the final paper assignment posted on the right. If you don't recall how to find sources, go to the MPH library's web page for the English Department. You can access the databases from home by clicking on "Online Databases" which is on the right hand side of the library page. Use the information listed there to log on to the various sites. If you have questions over this long weekend about what to do, as always, don't hesitate to get in touch with me.
