For Tuesday, September 22

1, Review (read again!)
"Interpreter of Maladies" and "Thousand Years of Good Prayers" (see syllabus or sidebar for where to find them) and fill in your work sheet. Come to class prepared to talk about both.

2, POETRY assignment
Please look over the poems in your poetry handbook and find a poem that speaks to you, ie, makes you feel something. The assignment (not due until mid-October) will be to present your poet and the poem to the class (3 to 5 minutes)

Have a great weekend!

    When you say, "fill in your worksheet" does that mean, write in journal for all the required information?

    Thanks, Lance
