Calendar
Using all of this information requires a bit of organization, so follow these general instructions. For each week, begin by reading assigned work from the internet, indicated by an author’s last name and the story title. The stories themselves, listed by title and author, are on line. A google search with title and the word TEXT will find the story if the provided link does not work. There will be rhetoric from englit.org. You are then to download the chosen web site for that week, listed as a link on the syllabus at the site English I-Net Resource List. That means all you have to do is click on the colored (usually blue) link of the name or address of the site. Following that, read the online presentation of the format strategy for the week, (Org & Outline, Quoting Your Sources, How To Take A Test, etc.). You are also required to read the thematic presentation for that week in Online Presentations (Character, Theme, Irony etc.). This will allow you to follow the schedule and be topical in the chat room and the class room. Any assignment or topic not linked to a website is on englit.org. Read the directions. All Due Dates for written assignments listed here are approximate. Written Assignments and Due Dates for papers and tests are posted on the Discussion Board. Most of this syllabus is self-explanatory.
