For Thursday: de Sousa, Love: AVSI, Chapter 1

Two quick notes:

1. Be sure to read Chapter 1 of Love: A Very Short Introduction. I won't give you any questions this time, but we will do an in-class response when you get to class. So read carefully and take note of some of his big and recurring ideas. I'm only going to ask you to write about something obvious, not one of the hidden details (this time, anyway!). 

2. I made a slight error on the syllabus, which one of our students was clever enough to catch. Since I only have one TR class this semester, I goofed on the schedule and assigned work during Spring Break! Obviously, I need to fix that, so here's the amended schedule starting in March:

T 19:    Spring Break

T 26:    Sousa, Love, Chapter 4, “Reasons”
R 28:    Shakespeare, Othello, Act 1

T 2:      Shakespeare, Othello Acts 2-3
R 4:      Scissortail Creative Writing Festival [no class]

T 9:      Shakespeare, Othello, Acts 4-5
R 11:    Wells, Shakespeare, Chapters 6-8

T 16:    Shakespeare, Troilus and Cressida, Act 1
R 18:    Shakespeare, Troilus and Cressida, Acts 2-3
