September 20

Today I started out by reading some examples of some of the better 'choices' paragraphs from the start of the year.  Then groups were formed to make connections between all the gothic stories we have read so far.  The theme is "we are what we know".  You have to try to make all the connections among the stories that you can.  These can include plot, genre, history, theme, character etc.  I also handed out a brief summary of the Faust legend.  There will be some time in class to work on this but not much.  The group presentations will be FRIDAY, not Thursday as stated in class today.  Those of you at Camp Squeah will have Wed. in class to do the work and will have to make your presentations at home.
