This Week

Group 2 will be responsible for leading discussion of Stein (the second 20-25 pages so that we are 40-50 pages in) and preparing a quiz for the rest of us. Make sure to have passages to share and discuss. Also consider the following to direct the discussion and ask questions of the rest of the class:

-narrative (content, progress, "storyness," characters and/or etc narrative elements)

-genre (including ideas about boundaries and conforming, transcending, transforming)

-identity (including ideas about gender, sex, orientation and practice, race, ethnicity, cultural and geographical location, etc)

-language (vocabulary, tone, repetition, play, construction, manipulation, etc)

-structure and organization issues/strategies/elements

-the relation between form and content

Please also remember to write extra great responses on your blogs; we only have a few classes left. 

You should also be working on your final projects (Project 3 assignment sheet on EMUOnline; and I gave a hard copy). Talk to your group members to meet outside of class at least twice and plan to include a brief synopsis of your group meetings in the response that you attach with the final project.
