TO ALL--Sorry about the missing week-end post (again). I'll do better. Part of the problem this week was the different pacing for morning vs. afternoon classes. From now on, I'll simply deal with that--but you have to promise to pay attention to YOUR class only; do not be confused (or use as an excuse) other instructions given to a different class.
TODAY IN CLASS
1st and 3rd--talked about some of the problems, differences in the "Wife's Lament" translations, and tried to establish the possible/probable circumstance for why she was left alone in the first place. Then we summarized some of the differences among the speakers' situations in the three lyric poems. Finally, we tried to find examples of the new literary terms in the poetry so far--but that was somewhat incomplete (esp. in 1st). Look at this new hand-out.
Whichever day you have the test, use this hand-out to help you review/prepare:

5th--We also looked at the new hand-out, though your own quiz will be day after tomorrow. I returned the first quizzes; we went over a few common mistakes, but everyone should correct missed answers on your own (not for points; this is for your benefit on the next quiz.
Students received the "Wife's Complaint" worksheet/study guide; students were allowed to work in pairs during the remaining class time, but anything NOT finished was to be done as individual homework. These will be collected first thing tomorrow.
FOR TOMORROW
Study for tomorrow's quiz (1st/3rd)
Complete the worksheet; look at the link above to start reviewing for the quiz on Wednesday (5th)
