Self-Definition Due on Wednesday!!

TODAY IN CLASS
1.  Students checked out the main textbook for the course. 

2.  In preparation for the first story, "The Demon Lover" (p. 1032 ff.), we saw a quick newsclip from last night's NBC news.  If you missed class, check it out here:

And though I didn't show the next piece in class, here are some amazingly well-done archival photographs of damage done to St. Paul's Cathedral durning the London Blitz:

3.  After talking for a few moments about how Londoners of the time coped with the nightly bombings, we turned to the story and discussed potential ambiguities of the title, particularly the word "demon."  Both 2nd and 4th periods were given the assignment of finding words and phrases on the first two pages ONLY (1032-1033) that are somewhat eerie--even suggestive of the supernatural.  You were to write a paragraph or so discussing the details you found and how/why you thought they were important.

NOW, here's where things diverged: 
2nd period--you received your planners, but you didn't have time to finish the paragraph.  I would think another 10 minutes (15 at the most!) would do it.
4th period--I think you mostly finished, because unfortunately we did not receive the planned Planner visit.

FOR TOMORROW
So if needed, finish up the supernatural-touches-in-"The Demon Lover" paragraph.

But the main thing is the Self-Definition:

• Be sure that you have followed the directions, particularly with respect to formatting.  If you have lost the instructions, you can access them here:

• Turn in the hard copy TOGETHER WITH the stamped copy of your resume. 
• If the stamped version was hand-written or merely a typed list with no formatting at all, you need to type up at least a draft in resume format.  If you needed to make additions to the original resume, it's OK to just make them by hand, and you can revise it more fully by the time the Career Center requires it later this fall.
• Be sure that you have saved your Self-Definition as a single document.
• Turning it in to turnitin.com
• Because of the planner presentation (or imminently-expected interruption), I didn't deal with this in class today.
• Therefore it is not required for tomorrow.
• HOWEVER--some people like to be pro-active.  Here is what you need if you are used to doing turnint.com.
