Ok, so im super late, sorry.  When the assignment was given to do these videos my first thought was, great, just one more thing to take up my time.  However, after creating it and watching some of the videos i think that this was the best assignment all semester.  It was super fun and not to mention funny.  It was a good way to be creative and actually learn something about the books.  I really enjoyed the first one we watched b/c lets face it, it was hilarious.  Im very excited about watching the others and i hope they are just as fun and creative as the first two.  Great job to everyone.

Hi all,

I've decided to cancel class for Monday November 20 (tomorrow) (lucky you). On the Monday we return, we will be finishing Autobiography of My Mother and reviewing for Wednesday's essay exam. Try to work towards your own analyses of the text in answering the exam questions, and come to class prepared to discuss them. I have attached a copy of the exam questions for those absent on Friday. If you have specific questions about the exam questions, please email them to me over break. Remember, you have to do a little research for the second question.

I've also decided to randomly choose groups to present their films (please make sure they are on DVD/DVDR:

Friday December 1
Groups 3, 5

Monday December 4
Group 2

Wednesday December 6
Group 1

Friday December 8
Group 4 (and any make-up groups)

Please let me know if you have any questions. Have a safe and productive break!
