You may choose to substitute a longer paper, perhaps combining earlier papers or adding to one or more of them, for two shorter essays. This option must be discussed in conference by the fourth week. At least one piece of writing has to be turned in the 3rd meeting. I will respond to it with suggestions for revision. Further, I will provide similar feed for any other drafts you choose to share.
All writings are to be revised and turned in for grading at the last class meeting.
The following may be adapted to meet the class particular needs. Introductions to Peers, Instructor, Course. Connect art form shifts to shifts in culture. Discuss how to read Shakespeare. Group reading of first pages of Hamlet.
