Wednesday, August 31
Students took a 15-question "open book" quiz over the course syllabus, and we graded it in class, using that means to review the procedures and expectations for the class.
Students turned in signed forms from parents & guardians.

Tuesday, August 30

Students received copies of the syllabus and a letter addressed to parents & guardians. Students need to read both documents and show them both to their folks. The letter (or the bottom section) needs to be signed & returned by the end of the week. The syllabus will be the subject of a quiz on Wednesday.

We previewed the course contents and requirements and we assessed students' existing knowledge (not much) of the first text in the course, Shakespeare's Hamlet, the single most famous work of literature in English, next to the Bible.

HW due Wednesday:
Read the syllabus carefully; quiz to begin the class.
Signed forms from parents/guardians need to be returned by Friday.
