Chekhov


Congrats to the two teams! You guys were ferocious! And you did a stellar job of analyzing and thinking deeply about the story. It's a complex novel, but you all navigated it like pros--I was proud of you, and had fun listening to your discussions!

And NOW... it's time to dive into a bit of Russian literature once again! Just a warning: this is a sad story! But Chekov is one of the major modern writers in Russian literature, so his stuff is rich and full of depth. I'm looking forward to getting your thoughts about it on Tuesday!

Also, please bring a tennative outline for your culture report! This will let me make sure you guys are heading in the right direction (and also keep you guys moving and not procrastinating). I've posted a refresher on the details about the assignment in the left bar, just in case you can't remember what to do. :)

ONE MORE THING: if you haven't given me your edited papers on To Kill a Mockingbird, please bring those in as well!

I hope she didn't say 7-10 cuz ashley and i are going to go way over our allotted time if that's the case.

to clarify: 7-10 minutes was the time frame for one-man presentations. Once we made teams, I lengthened it to the referenced time slot of 10-15 minutes. :)
