Week Six (Sept. 30 - Oct. 3)

Alright ... change in plans from your syllabus this week. For two reasons. One, I decided I wasn't ecstatic about the story I had scheduled for this week, and two, I think we've been moving so fast that I'm afraid some of you need some 'digestion' time, and the ability to put in practice what you've learned.

M - '1984' discussion. I really want to focus on two things; his dream and memory about his mom and childhood, and his meeting with O'Brien. (No HW!)

W - Quick review session of the key terms and ideas we've looked out during the first five weeks of class. Then an in-class timed writing prompt.

F - Discussion of writing prompts, look at example essays to compare to

HW - Read last two sections of Part II and first two sections of Part III of '1984'
