Ambrose may be stuck in the funhouse forever, but we have officially emerged. And we are (relatively) unscathed from our ten-day journey into the dark recesses of his adolescent mind.
Barth info: he is, as far as I know, still alive. (He last published in 2008.) He was born in 1930 and is now a retired professor, having last taught at Johns Hopkins. Lost in the Funhouse was nominated for a National Book Award in 1968; he won the award a year later with his novella collection Chimera.
Anyway, I hope you haven't found the close reading too painful and can see the reason for it. Now back to your regularly scheduled ESC papers and chants...due Friday.
Sophs: Debates are tomorrow! Bibliographies due by Friday, one per group. Each bibliography must list:
- individual sources with full citation
- specific information derived from each source
- how you used that information in the debate
The debates will be graded based on the following:
- organization of material and arguments
- clarity of argument
- focus/attention, as judged by clarity of rebuttal points
- research, as judged by sources presented during argument
- sharing of debate: no one member should dominate
- control and focus during open session
- conclusions
- annotated bibliographies (a separate grade)
