Welcome to Module 2! (1.5 – 2 hours)

Here’s what you need to do this week:

1. If you haven’t done so yet, read the Syllabus and Schedule (main menu). If you have any questions, please let me know!
   
   
2. Browse through the Anthology and start to think about what you may be interested in focusing on for your final project. Think of a text you are interested in to inspire your topic. Then, click on Assignments (main menu) to learn more about how we will gradually build work towards the final project.
   
   
3. Read from the Anthology:
   – Vol. 5: “Unit 1: Romanticism” (pp. 1110-1114) and “Jean-Jacques Rousseau” (p. 1115)
   – Confessions, Book 1, by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, 1712-1723 (pp. 1116-1143), also available here (Book I only)
