Thursday

Yes, I skipped Wednesday. . .  in-class discussion of Morte d'Arthur:  no new homework.

TODAY
Students turned in the modernized paragraphs after adding brief explanations for three specific changes, and a small-group addition of one more short bit of text (4 lines or so).

We also started ballads (barely)--going over some basic characteristics and reading (but not yet discussing)  "The Twa Corbies."

FOR TOMORROW
Read/re-read/study the two ballads on pp. 194-195, including looking at all the "dialect words" that are defined below the text.  Of course we will talk about these, but you need to figure some things out on your own first. 

Answer (in writing, in ink [or typed]) questions 1-4 on p. 195.  Respond to all parts, and include evidence as needed.  These are very brief.  Just do it.
