Juniors: ULM Library @ 4:00 on Sunday

Once you find the library's site, whether on campus or off, go to "Databases by Subject" and select "English." This will give you a list of all the databases ULM's library subscribes to that relate to English and Literature. JSTOR is the database we discussed in class, but there are several if you just explore a bit.

One note of advice regarding databases: the results lists usually give you choices when viewing; if you choose PDF then you can save onto your USB drive and then read and print at home. 

Bring all relevant sources to class on Monday, and we will discuss how to use them. This means you should read through your sources to see if they relate to your topic BEFORE you come to class. Please DO NOT wait until you get to school to crowd into the library and use every bit of ink and paper. If at all possible, print AT HOME. Thanks.

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

What better way to spend Halloween than reading a story that begins with a beheading? For the next week or so, we'll be discussing Arthurian Literature, beginning with a look at " Sir Gawain and the Green Knight ," the anonymous tale of a test of courtly love, involving a supernatural green knight and a bet. For more information on the poem, read this introduction . I've also included a prose translation that you can compare with the verse translation we have in our book.

Homework

Seniors Your exam is on Thursday, and your final essay is on Friday. I'll talk more about the essay in class tomorrow. Also, the senior auction project lacks one more important detail - your memories! We will spend a bit of time tomorrow in class writing down some of your fondest memories of your senior year, and the rest of your time at RO.  Sophomores Read "Lines Composed a few miles above Tintern Abbey," and complete the questions at the end of the selection in your book. As always, please use complete sentences and cite frequently from the text.
