Protecting Ourselves from Sadness: November 22, 2019

Focus: How are the characters in ELIC protecting themselves from sadness?

1. Warming up with artifact writing and on overview of our experimental memoir pieces

2. Offering you a recap of your notebook expectations (I will start checking them today)

To clarify: By TODAY, you should have FOUR entries in your notebook

• Journal #1: Pages 1-85 (we did this in class)
• Journal #2: Pages 86-141
• Journal #3: Pages 142-173
• Journal #4: Pages 174-207

By next TUESDAY, you should have a FIFTH entry in your notebook.

• Journal #5 (new): Pages 208-259

3. Watching the first twenty minutes of the film adaptation of ELIC to help you picture the characters and understand the plotline; use the film notes to guide your deep thinking

*I will start grading your notebooks during this time.*

HW:
1. For MONDAY: Complete at least half of the reading assignment for Tuesday; catch up if you are behind in the reading or journaling.

2. For TUESDAY: Read and journal through page 259; leaders should prepare their syllabus.

3. HEADS UP: All make-up work, including fishbowl blogs, notebooks, essay revisions, and any other graded assignments from the past 12 weeks must be submitted no later than Wednesday, December 11. After this date, I will not be able to accept any previous work from the semester.
