on Mercury Theatre. Check out the Mercury Theatre website for streaming audio and downloadable versions of radio programs from the 1930’s.
Hear Dracula, War of the Worlds, Treasure Island, and, at the bottom of the page, an interview with Wells by Welles.
It’s here, really.
…talking cats, and broken hearts. I love this unit. I hope you’re loving your books.
You met in groups last week, wrote reading schedules, and planned responsibilities for Monday. If you aren’t sure what your part is for Monday, email your group or post a comment below.
If you have any questions about your position (or your grade, or any makeup work…), send me an email.
Continue reading over the sources for your support, refute, or qualify essay [click to download] this weekend. We will work on your thesis statements on Monday, your support on Wednesday, and write the final drafts on Friday. Normal article analyses will be due Tuesday and Thursday. (Holy organization, Batman! A week planned in advance!) Have a great weekend, enjoy the extra hour.
Edit: Great ironic inevitability! Of course, as one of you so gently informed me, you do not have school on Friday. So, the essay will be due at the end of class on Thursday, and the rest of the schedule stays the same. [sigh.]
Edit 2: Here is the url for the essay download site: http://www.mediafire.com/?uz1ilncmiii. Six of you have downloaded it so far, so it must be working at some point in the process. Keep me updated if you are still having trouble. There will be no article analyses tomorrow because the gods of organization have conspired against my best laid plans. Work on your essays, come to class tomorrow with a thesis statement and some support. [If you email a copy of your thesis to me before tomorrow I’ll smile warmly upon you.]
