Bring your short story anthologies to class. Complete the departmental assessment exercise on the Jamaica Kinkaid story and bring it to class. Also, please go to the class discussion board (follow the link to the left) and write a solid paragraph or two introducing yourself to the class.
Friday, January 23
Group I Response: On the basis of the first pages of the novel, discuss images that strike you as interesting or potentially important. What patterns of images, in other words, would you suggest we follow as we read more of the novel? If you want a definition of literary imagery, look here. Note: here and throughout this syllabus, the first (less indented) reading or link is required, while the second (more indented) reading or link is supplemental and optional. Here, for example, the reading from Wuthering Heights is required, whereas exploring the website is optional.

Friday, February 6
Group II Response: The response assignment will be the same for all four critical approaches. For the approach we read about each day, discuss a point in the article that you consider especially instructive or, on the contrary, to be a misreading of Wuthering Heights. You can talk about more general applications of the day's theory if you like, but every response should start by discussing a specific moment in the day's article.
