We
(both Shakepseare and I) want you to use your time well to meet
the requirements of the class.
You
know you're required to post AT LEAST three of journals (two
pages each) online. As you know, papers must exhibit good ideas
and good writing. In your reading journals, you can respond
to a character, event, or issue present in the text assigned for
a particular class session. The journal entries should provide an
opportunity for you to begin interpreting the plays, as well as
to raise (and start answering) questions you may have about the
texts. So, one or two paragraphs are not enough to completely fulfil
the above-mentioned purposes. I know some of you already posted
your writings. You may need to do some revisions to make them more
complete.
As
I mentioned in the course description, plays are open to many possible
interpretations, so the more viewpoints you and your classmates
hear and express, the more options we as a class can explore. Therefore,
your constant and active participation is required throughout
the course. So, I insist that you write and post online at least
two responses to journals posted by your classmates and have group
discussions online (via the chatroom). I've noticed that some of
you did a good job in responding to your classmates' journals or
group discussion reports. Keep the good work!! As for those who
haven't completed their chats, do them soon!
