Hi All,

General Announcements & Events

***Please see the very important instructions about how to access our next reading in the “Upcoming Work” section below.***

Completed (or nearly completed) Work

This week you focused on your first papers.

Upcoming Work

Next week we begin reading Herman Melville’s Benito Cereno. We will be using a version of this text prepared by myself and two professors at Hostos Community College, Dr. Craig Bernardini and Dr. Krystyna Michael. We used Manifold to create this version. 

***Please follow these directions to set up an account on Manifold***

After you register for Manifold, you should join the class reading group by clicking on this link: https://cuny.manifoldapp.org/my/groups?join=VW3M37OJ

Annotating this story works very similarly to what you were doing on the course site.  Please make sure you are posting your annotation in our reading group. Here is how to do that.
