Macbeth and other announcements

  • Remember to investigate your current grade on turnitin.com and report it to me next week in class.
  • Due date for Essay 2 is moved to November 28, 5pm.
  • I will be posting a link on the right side of the page that allows you to sign up for times over the next few weeks (last hour of class or office hours) to review your completed Essay 2. The point is not to allow you to rewrite it, but rather to give you some insight on how to write Essay 3.
  • Essay 3 is described in the syllabus as a comparison of Changeling to the real-life events upon which it is based. However, I am also giving you the option to write the same assignment but based on the film Heavenly Creatures (which you would have to rent yourself.
  • Remember to bring Macbeth to class next week.
  • Instead of a blog post, your simple assignment for this week is to identify at least one passage that you find either a) difficult to understand or b) interestingly ambiguous. You don't need to write or post anything this week, but be ready to mention your passage in class if asked.
