Tuesday 10 March: Purgatorio introduction
Wednesday 11 March: No class; Gala practice Thursday 12 March: Canto 1 Friday 13 March: Cantos 2 and 3 *****Move to Distance Learning***** Here's the Dante background overview. Here's the handout about Cantos 2 and 3 ************************************************************************************************************************************************** Week 1 Wednesday 18 March: Begin with these notes; read Cantos 4 and 5; after reading, visit the discussion forum for English 10 on Jupiter; you are required to make two posts to process your reading, per the questions and instructions there; this assignment is due by 5pm. ***Notes for the discussion forum: In Jupiter, this shows up in your Messages and is marked "required." You should be able to see everyone else's comment and then add your own. Feel free to refer overtly to other people's comments: "As Fiorela notes, I think that Pia...but I think this for a different reason..." Make your relationships with the various ideas clear. Thursday 19 March: Here is a screencast that introduces distance learning (material from yesterday) and responds to the Canto 4 discussion forum; Here is a screencast that handles Canto 5 and introduces the student presentations. Please make sure you watch the business about Paolo and Francesca, beginning about 4:50 so that you get that outside information from Inferno. Cantos 6, 7, 8; after reading, complete this worksheet individually--you may talk to others about the text but not share answers--scan and hand in as a pdf through Dropbox by 5pm today; Here is the overview of student presentations as a handout. To scan the worksheet, use a free scanner app on your phone--Ella S likes the scanner in Notes on iPhone. I use Adobe Scan, but there are others that produce pdfs as well. Work must be in pdf form to be graded. You may also label clearly and type, convert to pdf and upload to Dropbox. Friday 20 March: Cantos 9 and 10; After reading, please complete these questions and submit the worksheet as a pdf via Dropbox by 5pm. NB: I ask you to speculate about symbolism. Please don't look up answers on the Internet but actually speculate on your own, based on your reading. I won't count off for reasonable answers that ultimately don't line up with what the critics say, and they disagree, anyway! We'll talk through the received answers on our Zoom call Monday. Here are screencasts that give more information about Cantos 1 and 2, Cantos 3-7 (since we've already done strong work with 4 and 5, it is easy for me to go faster and to get to material you need), and Cantos 8-9. You need to watch these videos to get information not otherwise available on handouts or earlier screencasts. Thanks for spending the time. Here's the handout that's the basis of the screencasts. The screencasts answer many of the questions asked on the handout. ************************************************************************************************************************************************** Week 2 Monday 23 March: Have you watched the Ante-Purgatory screencasts? If not, do that now; Cantos 11 and 12; attend Zoom call at 2:05; please read before the call. You do not need a phone number to attend a Zoom call.
