About Tuesday's Class (1/20)

As you surely know, Tuesday (1/20) is a big day in American politics. And, as you may also realize, the inauguration will be taking place right smack in the middle of our class.

In (and out) of class, we will be completing a writing exercise focused on today’s events. If you are involved in any campus activities that are honoring/celebrating/just observing the event, and will miss class Tuesday, please email me as soon as possible, and I will forward you the assignment (which can be completed outside of class).

Thanks!

The "Missing" Lottery

It has come to my attention that the course reader is missing the last page of "The Lottery"--what a cliffhanger!

Here is the story in its entirety--please be sure to have read it all by Thursday. Thanks!

Meeting with Helen this Week

Hi Everyone--

Just wanted to let you know that, since class was canceled for today, Helen wasn't able to pass out the sign up sheet for appointments. However, if you would like to meet with her, she will be having her normal "drop by" office hours all week.

I know we haven't even started the first paper, but you can always meet with Helen to touch up any lingering writing issues, etc.

Thanks!

Urgent Class Information

Class on Tuesday, 1/13 is Canceled.

I hate canceling class, but I am having a medical situation right now that will keep me home-bound. All assignments, etc. will simply be moved a class up--more details on Thursday.

Also, naturally, I won't have office hours tomorrow, either.

Thank you for your understanding.
