February 9, 2010

Changes to Syllabus: (I've also changed these on the syllabus posting)

2/11: We will NOT discuss "Verbs" from Sin and Syntax.
2/16: INSTEAD we will be discussing "Verbs" today, 2/16, so have it read by then.
2/18: We will NOT discuss "Voice" from Sin and Syntax at all--scratch from syllabus.
2/23: We WILL discuss "Adverbs" from Sin and Syntax--add it to your syllabus under Discussion TBA.

In class we read "Coming Into Language" by Jimmy Santiago Baca. I'll leave extra copies in my box in 313.

Here are links to the essays you need to have read by Thursday:

Salvation by Langston Hughes

The Monkey Garden by Sandra Cisneros
(I cannot find an electronic link, but this essay is taken from the book The House on Mango Street, which you can check out and read that specific chapter."
