JOURNAL TOPIC:
What did you do yesterday to help yourself in this class? Did it help you? What did you learn?
 

-OR-
 

Choose your own topic.

 

AGENDA:

1. Journal
2. Finish up your work for the week, and catch up on anything else you're missing from previous weeks.

(Here's a conversation I just imagined while typing #2.)

ME: Please wrap up your work for the week and email me about your progress by 3:00 P.M. today.  

IMAGINARY STUDENT: What's our work for the week?

ME: (sighing, but patient, but oh c'mon already) Our work for every week is on the Work Product page - you may want to bookmark that - but for the sake of convenience I'm copying and pasting it here for you.

• Attend or watch Zoom meeting
  
• Journal entries (daily)
• Publish your translation of Hugo's Preface to Les Mis in a post on personal course blog (title: A WORD ABOUT THE MISERABLES)
• Publish your response to Chapter 1 on personal course blog (title: LES MIS #1) 
• Email your progress report insights no later than 3:00 P.M. on Friday, September 18
  
• Start a list (in your notebook or on your computer/tablet/phone) of the words in Les Mis that are unfamiliar to you or are used in an unfamiliar way. Keep the list where you can refer to it when we read next week.
  
• Read "how to publish your handwritten work online" and post your three favorite journal entries (making sure, of course, that they are internet-friendly and make you look good!) on your blog (title: PAGES FROM MY JOURNAL #1). Due by Tuesday, 9/22 at 9:00 A.M. Pacific.
