Schedule changes

As the sub told you, the following is the new schedule for Macbeth-related assignments. In addition, I've added other information.

March 9: No class, but if you missed the quiz last week, you need to take it today.

March 10: We’ll focus on Act IV, sc. ii (the murder of Macduff’s family) and Act IV, sc. iii (paying special attention to Malcolm, “the kingly virtues,” and Macduff’s reaction to learning the horrible news). I'll also want to check that people are okay on their recitation pronunciations.

March 12: Recitation (unchanged). We'll make sure we've covered all of the quotations in discussion as well as the play's conclusion.
March 17: Quotations test.
March 19: Paper due.

Circumstances of weather or other factors might cause this to change, but for now:

Writing on Get Out

For Monday, Jan. 27, read and respond to this article.

https://www.vox.com/culture/2017/3/7/14759756/get-out-benevolent-racism-white-feminism

Of the four focal points of the article, pick two to which to respond in two separate paragraphs. You might discuss your opinion about what the essay says, what you noticed at the time or didn't notice until reading about it later, what you think of these concepts outside of the movie, and whether the movie handled such elements effectively. We'll talk about all of these elements next time, so please do think about each of them. Either print your paper or share it with me in Google Docs.

Wasn't that a great movie?!
