it's my weekend and i'll blog if i want to

A few thoughts while awaiting the debate (or not) and the Collapse of Civilization As We Know It (copyright pending):

Good work today, classes. In CW, the discussions were generally strong for the first time we tried this approach to things. I hope you guys are able to find some interesting elements of these pieces over the weekend. In E3H, you were all over that Hound poem. And in E2H, the reading is solid and enthusiastic (though I do wish some of you were taking notes...but maybe I'll see online that you don't really have to?).

Here is today's HW:

CW:

Online, post responses and feedback to the metapoem pieces. Revise the childhood memory pieces (new stuff color-coded) and repost. And begin discussing some of the pieces from the YI editions you took home with you. (This latter will be ongoing; a couple of pieces for now should be fine.

E3H:

Online, post responses and feedback to the metapoem pieces. You'll see a lot of pieces; you don't need to respond to all of them, but try to offer meaningful feedback (w/direct quotation) to at least 10-12. In selecting the ones to review, please pay attention to those who have had the fewest replies. Also, read Chapter 5 of Sound and Sense.

E2H:

Online, in the new thread under E/T, discuss the play as it relates to your understanding of Thoreau, Emerson, and transcendentalism. What lines did you recognize from the quote packet? What do you expect to happen?

OK, here's something to...um...enjoy. (?)
