Hi All,
I moved this week, so I am a little behind. Many apologies for this getting to you so late. I will be finishing up your blog post grades by Wednesday.
This week we will focus on analyzing the poems on the schedule. You will choose one of these to write about for your first paper. I will be posting screencasts going over the chapters from Culler in the next day.
