We'll begin today's class with a brief check in: I'll ask each person in the class to talk a little bit about the work they've done so far for our "Unpacking a Quotation" paper. This will give me a chance to check your progress, but it will also give you the opportunity to hear from your classmates and learn from their choices and considerations. I'll give you a little bit of time at the beginning of class to prepare some notes before you have to talk.
Instructions
1. Read the quotation you've chosen.
2. Briefly explain why you chose this quotation:
- What question or theme or argument are you concerned with?
- What about the language of this quotation makes it interesting or useful to you?
- Try to give us some insight into a particular word or phrase that you find important
Feel free to ask questions of your classmates, offer your own insights about what they're working on, or make connections between your work and theirs.
Oh, and if you're feeling stressed out at mid-semester, here's a cat video to help you through:
