Online Textbook Update

I am still working on getting more licenses for the students who do not have access yet. If we do not have access by the end of the week, I will check out text to the students who need them. You will be able to turn the text back into me as soon as we get access.

I will collect the "Using the Online Textbook" worksheet from those who have been able to complete it tomorrow in class.

Thanks for being patient with this process.

What is literature?


Our first task as a class is to determine what literature is, and what it is not. In order to do this well we must make our selves more knowledgeable on what others determine literature to be. Please review these articles before coming to class on Friday, August 24th. Bring to class your notes or annotations of the articles and your 1-2 sentence definition of the article.

Articles for Review:
Webster's Definition
What is literature?
