Dear English 481 students,

All the papers and reports have been sent back to you (in .pdf form), and I've posted the grades, including your course grade, to elearning.wsu.edu.

Have a great holiday!

Study guide for exam 2

The study guide for Exam 2 is available here: http://www.wsu.edu/~campbelld/engl481/study2.htm.

The exam will be from 1-3 on Monday in our usual classroom.

If you have questions over the weekend, please don't hesitate to email, IM, or Skype me.

I called the library the other day, and the MLA database link is working again. You can access it by clicking on the Online Databases link on our main page, clicking on A-Z, and typing in MLA.

Also, since we'll be talking about Crane and London (last Thursday's
assignment) on Tuesday, here is what we'll be doing on Thursday:

Reports
Native American Autobiography: Eastman, "From the Deep Woods to Civilization" 797-810
Zitkala-Sa, "Impressions," "School Days," and "Indian Teacher" 1105-24
Precis assignment due

Note that we won't be reading the excerpt from Sarah Winnemucca.

If you have questions about your precis assignment, please email or IM or Skype me tomorrow, since I won't be online much tonight (IM and Skype:
drcampbell6676). You can also send me a message through Facebook (same name:
drcampbell6676).

See you on Tuesday!

Since we had Tuesday off, I thought I would send you a message to let you know what we’ll be doing tomorrow.



We’ll begin our class with reports by Kate-Lynne Logan, Kate Quinn, Samantha Zeiner, and Alison Buck. After that, we’ll be discussing naturalism, so I would like you to start by reading the poems by Stephen Crane (available online from our readings page at http://www.wsu.edu/~campbelld/engl481/readings.htm or directly from http://www.wsu.edu/~campbelld/crane/cranepoems.pdf .

We’ll then read “The Open Boat,” saving “To Build a Fire” for last because some of you have read it already.

Aesthetic movement

The presentation materials (PowerPoint) on the Aesthetic movement that I used in class today is available in elearning.wsu.edu; the handout on Hebraism and Hellenism is available on our main site under Readings.

Meet in MASC on October 23

As mentioned in class today, we will meet in the Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections (MASC) room in Holland/Terrell library on Thursday.

When we return to class on Tuesday, we'll discuss the stories from today in more detail, so please bring them with you.

Reports

If you have not yet signed up for a report, please email me with the topic. You can find the report schedule on this page: http://www.wsu.edu/~campbelld/engl481/reports.htm.
