Week 8

What lies behind us and lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
-Oliver Wendell Holmes
Good day to you all. Hope you are well. Today we will watch the end of the biopic we began last week called Grizzly Man. I have planned to allow class time to finish also the composition assigned last week, which was to describe the film's depiction of Tim Treadwell, and the character of the man himself. We have, too, some grammar material to cover. If it appears everyone has done the essay assignment, and we have the time, I have planned a work that requires participation in small groups or pairs, discussion and question and response, and a short essay to follow that draws upon the group investigations.
A reminder: In two weeks we take the final, which is to be an in class essay of 350 words on a topic drawn from a list of topics. By week 1o, you should have submitted all rewrites or past due work, leaving nothing for week 11, except perhaps to retake the final should you not pass it week 10. There will be no rewrites or late work accepted after week 10.
