Remember, however, that the works you select must be written or published at least twenty-five years apart and may not be works listed on the syllabus; that is, nothing we have read for or discussed in class.
Sunday, October 23, 2011:
Also, tomorrow we will discuss Herrick’s “To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time” (471), Marlowe’s “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love” (464-465), and Raleigh’s “The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd.” As announced in class, Raleigh’s poem is not in the textbook; use the link provided and print out a copy of the poem to bring to class. Be sure you have read all three poems before class, as required; there will be a quiz!
Finally, tomorrow will be your opportunity to sign up for Extra Credit Poetry Recitations; see the choices here.
P.S. - check out “Philomela” (Encyclopedia Mythica), “Philomela” (Ovid Metamorphoses Resource Page), or “Philomela” (Wikipedia). Cool story, huh?

Essay 1
will be returned in class today; revisions will be due in one week, on
Wednesday, October 19. Note that the instructions are quite clear: All failing essays, with the exception of the Diagnostic Essay
and Final Essay, may be revised and
resubmitted; essays receiving a passing grade
may also be revised and resubmitted, but only after the student has met with
the instructor during office hours (by appointment only) to discuss
revisions. Revisions must be substantially revised, not merely
“corrected” versions of the original essay (revisions should be based upon the
Revising and Editing Checklist
and relevant information from class and the textbooks), and must be
submitted with the original graded essay attached. Evidence of
substantial revision may result in a better grade for the assignment.
If you did not submit a completed essay on time, according to the syllabus, you will receive a grade of zero and may not submit a “revision.” However, I will provide an additional chance this time: if you did not submit your essay but wish to receive credit, you may bring a completed draft of your essay to the Writing Center to receive assistance, then revise that draft, and submit both the draft and the revision next Wednesday.
Finally, note that today we begin poetry; be sure you have read “Writing about Poems” (1238-1247). including “Elements of Poetry,” Shakespeare, Sonnet 116: “Let me not to the marriage of true minds,” and “Shakespeare Defines Love.”
Wednesday, October 5, 2011:
The link for Kimberly Ebel’s
“Class and Gender in Cinderella: Annotated Bibliography”

Monday, October 3, 2011:
Two sample annotated bibliographies have also been posted on the schedule, under Week 6:
“Sample Annotated Bibliography” and Ebel, Kimberly, “Class and Gender in Cinderella: Annotated Bibliography.”I will post additional links for research purposes later this week, as announced in class.
Thursday, September 29, 2011:
In addition, Essay 1 is due Wednesday, October 5; we will discuss the assignment in class on Monday, but the instructions are here as well as on both the
