Thoreu Web Lecture Up: To substitute for the dazzling commentary I would have made had we met in class last Wednesday, I have posted a web lecture that includes some ideas about Thoreau from literary critics, a Thoreau timeline, and links to some Thoreau related web sites: Thoreau Web Lecture
Thoreu Forum Up: To substitute for our class discussion of Thoreau that we would have completed today (Wednesday, November 14), I have created a discussion forum. Please read the forum instructions carefully and then make ONE post to the forum.
Combined, these two activities substitute for our missed class on November 14th due to my illness. It is crucial that you complete this work as soon as you can but by no later than Wednesday, November 21.
Performance Resources: I have added a play performance instruction page for you and your group to use as a guide as you prepare your scene: Performing The Contrast. I have also set up a discussion forum for you to submit your performance project reports, the first of which was due on the day of my absence but which I would now like you to submit for class on Monday.
For Monday, November 19, please read the Melville pages assigned in the syllabus (1072-1101). DO NOT complete the journal writing activity. We will be skipping that assignment.
