Please refer to the first post on the blog; there has been an update to the syllabus.
Since we are only now finishing the first essay, rather than the second, expect to eliminate the cause/effect essay. We will re-direct our focus to continuing to read essays and look ahead to the next essay: the comparison/contrast essay.
Also, expect short reponses to the essays assigned to be read. We may not always have time to discuss them as fully as possible in class, but these still provide excellent examples of how a "good" essay is written. Many of these essay also ask you to consider views not wholly like yours and offer new perspectives for you, as a student, to consider. All the more reason to read them thoughtfully.
On Week 6, Day 2, you need to be sure to have read "Indian Education" and "Shooting an Elephant."
We will have no less than 2 questions from each essay and no more than 4 questions from each essay that you will answer. Questions will focus on the background provided in each headnote, the content of the essasy and the style, structure, purpose, audience of the essay.
