Welcome to Module 4! (1.5 – 2 hours)
Here’s what you need to do this week:
- Your proposal is due soon (see Schedule), so now is a good time to finalize your decision on which text or period to work on. Double check the instructions under ‘Assignments’ > Scaffolded Project – Overview > ‘1. The project proposal’, and use the Writing Center for this one if you need!
- Read from the Anthology:
– Vol. 5: “Unit 2: Realism” (pp. 2352-2354);
– “Emily Dickinson” (pp. 2782-2794 – they’re super short!);
– “My Life has stood — a Loaded Gun.”
