Welcome to English 39

Welcome to English 39. You'll need to visit this website about twice per week since you are required to contribute to the discussions on a weekly basis. Specifically, each week you need to post one substantial comment of your own. The questions are found here, but the answers are to be posted on our other site, www.turnitin.com. Replying to other students there is completely optional and can add extra credit to your score (as long as you are having genuine debate and discussion, not littering my board).

This blog also lets you download important documents like the syllabus, assignments, and class handouts, and it has links to readings and other assignments.

For our next meeting, please read the following two versions of "Cinderella." Think about what they have in common; but more importantly, think about their differences and how they add up to create different moral lessons, different effects. You don't need to write or post anything about "Cinderella." Just come to class prepared to discuss along those lines. The two versions are Perrault's version and the Brothers Grimm version.

Here's the first blog posting assignment...
Due Sept 12 -- ONE HOUR before class (5:30pm)

We will use the first posting assignment to get used to the system. Just post a short message introducing yourself and telling us a bit about one of your favorite films and why it deserves that distinction. This is the only post that doesn't need to be any certain length.

Remember to post this response on the Discussion Board of www.turnitin.com, not here!
