Problem/Solution Paper

I gave you a suggested outline in class today, linked here. I also gave you instructions on inserting an image into your draft. Your final draft of the problem/solution paper is due tomorrow at the end of the day. Please email the attached file (lastname-problem) so I can add it to the database. This weekend, your priority is to complete your interview and to revise both papers.

Next week, you will report to me on your interview in the form of a letter. I will discuss the format and contents on Monday. You will also be required to turn in an annotated bibliography and an abstract/title page. In other words, work on writing the paper now, so that you can get these other assignment completed next week. All of this goes toward the same goal: turning in your 1500 word report Friday, September 12th.

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.
