The Known World, WLTC, etc.

Today in class the plan is to review the Hacker handout on Argumentation and review Chapter 6 in WLTC. Read the chapter. We will complete Exercise 6A in class. Homework is to bring in a visual fallacy to share. Be prepared to explain it.

We will take some time to get into Lit Circles to talk about The Known World. We want to complete it in two weeks, beginning with last Thursday. A student suggested we spend more time on TKW and less on the other two books, which are easier to read.

TKW is not a fast read. Try to complete 2-4 chapters (100 pages a week). Develop character profiles. It will help one keep track of the events and the shifting chronology.

I am still wading through Wise. I plan to respond to all students with grades by Thursday.
