Week+Two+Jan.+14th

Here are the questions for Journal 2. NOTE: I've changed the due date to Wed. Jan. 16th, and the corresponding discussion group will change to Wed. as well. I'm realizing that we need a little more time to get through this lengthy book! I'm updating the syllabus as well and moving some of the other journals (and their discussions) back a day or two. To be posted soon...



Monday's PowerPoint:

Instructions for Essay #2, due on Wed. 1/23: After carefully reading Kathleen Norris' article, "Can You Tell the Truth in a Small Town?" write a 2-3 page essay in which you connect the points Norris makes about small town culture with the first two parts of __Strange Piece of Paradise__ by Terri Jentz. Summarize Norris' perspective on the phenomena of small town life and explain how it fits with Jentz's experiences in attempting to solve and understand the crime she lived through.
