Chapter 39: pages
1042- 1048
We will not read Oedipus as a class, but it's important to understand the
conventions of Greek Drama and Tragedy.
Chapter 40: pages
1100 - 1109 .
Similarly, I want you to have the information about Shakespeare's Theater.
It is difficult to teach Shakespeare or any drama online, but I encourage you to rent a video version of any Shakespeare play, so that you can see a "staged" version.
Chapter 41 pages
1200-1204 (up to but not including A Doll House).
The introductory pages to the chapter will help you understand the conventions
of modern drama.
By Tuesday Feb. 21, submit Final Draft of Essay One via email (copy and paste) and digital drop box (attachment). Also submit the Peer Review Record form found on the Peer Review Forms page. Note: this is a different form than the one you used for peer reviews.
Please review the syllabus for the correct headings format, etc. Also, review the Essay One Assignment to make sure you have all the components of the assignment.
By Friday, at 10 PM On the Trifles Discussion Board on BlackBoard, choose two of the five questions and post 100-200 words in answer to each of your choices.
These will be due by next Monday at 10 PM
Take the Trifles Quiz located under Course Documents on Blackboard. This quiz will be available from Monday of this week through Sunday of next week (14 days).
Be ready--one try only. No reset for any reason, so make sure you have a reliable internet connection when you launch the quiz.
Chapter 44 pages 1452 - 1515 These pages cover introductory information, the play A Raisin in the Sun and an essay on Hansberry's art.
Rent and watch the film "A Raisin in the Sun." Try the Sierra College library. You should also be able to find it at a local video store. ARC, Sac City, and CSUS also have it--I think you have to watch it there, but I'm not sure. You might try public libraries as well.
Please note: every semester one or two students write essays based on one of the film versions rather than on both reading the play and watching the film--this is cheating, and it is always clear in these essays that the play has not been read.
Purchase The Awakening by Kate Chopin
Product Details (cost $4.00 at Amazon.com) IBSN--see
below. You should get this ASAP, and may be able to find it in a local
bookstore as well.
