Syllabus starting May 18
WE WILL HOLD INDIVIDUAL conferences this week, reviewing the rough draft of the Dickens paper. Sign up for these via the google link I sent to your school email address. I will hold these meetings via my Zoom meeting link; make sure to enter the meeting five minutes prior to our start time; the link will place you into a waiting room while I’m finishing other conferences. You will want to have and be able to share access to your rough draft via a google document. We will also start some background information on Shakespeare’s Macbeth—a play he wrote while on home quarantine during a plague, as it happens!
MONDAY / GREY DAY—OFFICE HOURS
Today is a grey day, and you can meet with me during Zoom office hours 12:50 and 1:50 pm.
Check Canvas announcements for the link to Zoom.

This week we will begin writing and revising a paper on Great Expectations.
