Literature 7-8
I am planning a Zoom session for 10:00am to 10:30am, during which we will be discussing the first two chapters of The Slave Dancer. You have a written assignment due today on "The Errand." For tomorrow, read the second chapter, "The Moonlight," in time for the discussion. In this chapter, the exposition continues. Along with Jessie, we will be learning more about the ship, its purpose, and especially some of the members of the crew. Focus on these things as you read. You will have an opportunity to ask questions, and I will be asking you for some oral responses. Attendance is required.
American Literature
I am planning a Zoom session for 10:30am to 11:00am tomorrow. Attendance is required. 1. Read "About the Author" (T.S. Eliot) on p. 567. Note his personal difficulties as well as his literary successes and his conversion to Christianity. 2. Read "About the Selection" on p. 567. Note the highlighted vocabulary but especially the background for better understanding a difficult poem. 3. Listen to the poem read aloud here. There is no text displayed on the recording, so you should follow along in your book. You will not be expected to understand it all, but the poem will make some strong emotional and verbal impressions on you. Be prepared to share. I will offer some insights about understanding the poem better.

You will have the opportunity to ask questions; make the most of it. I will also be asking you to share some of the observations you have made and some of the insights you have gained as a result of your reading and your interactions with me (or others). Come prepared in both cases, and make sure you are up to date with your reading.
