For Wednesday, 5/26 and Thursday, 5/27

Be sure to bring whatever you have for your final paper--put it on a flash drive, email it to yourself, or bring your laptop. We will spend a good part of class working on it. You may also find it helpful to bring your Pocket Style Manual.

Class on Friday (5/14) and Monday (5/17)

For homework, read Act IV, scenes 1-3, and scene 5 up to line 95 (skip scene 4). Do not write a journal entry. Instead, answer three questions for the character you were assigned in class for the character committee report. (The handout is posted to the right.) I made a mistake about Ophelia--in class, I told you she does not appear in this reading, but she does in fact appear in scene 5, so you should still answer three questions about her in your journal.

Also, bring to class whatever you have written for your final paper (e-mail it to yourself, put it on a flash drive, etc.). We will spend about half the class working on the final paper; the complete draft is due Tuesday (5/18) and Wednesday (5/19), and is worth 20% of the final paper grade.

Permission Forms Reminder

Friday, May 7, is the due date for your permission form to see Fences at Syracuse Stage on May 19. Turn in your form with $10 in cash or a check payable to MPH. If you need an extra permission form, click on the link posted to the right.

Change in due date for the draft of the final paper

Because of the AP exams, the draft of your final paper is now due Tuesday, May 18 (Day 5), and Wednesday, May 19 (Day 6). You will notice May 19 is the same day as the trip to Syracuse Stage; I will expect to receive your draft either before our departure or after our return to campus.
