Friday, February 19, 2010

due Monday 2/22

1. Read "The Country Husband," pp. 71-88. Then come to this blog and comment, doing one of two things:

A. Ask a question, the answer to which will help you and/or other students understand the story.

OR

B. Attempt to answer another student's question, even if you aren't sure of the answer (feel free to admit that you're not sure).

What if you think you understand everything about the story, and there are no questions to answer? Make up a helpful question anyway. If it's a "thought" question instead of a "fact" question--fine. Pretend you're an English teacher.

Please note that there will be a grammar quiz on Tuesday, and that the Cartier-Bresson analysis is due on Wednesday.
