Wow! Things have been rather chaotic with all the snow. And I'm not in the classroom Thursday or Friday! S

For World Lit students: here's a review of discussion topics we STILL need to cover in different classes, along with activities for Friday. The film Mosquito Coast is a fascinating story (based on a novel) about Allie Fox and his attempts to bring civilization to a jungle in South America. How does this relate to Things Fall Apart? We'll talk about this on Monday.

I'm in the office if you have ANY questions.
