Dear students,

Today we received the sad news that Prof. Estela Salva, from the Literature Department, has passed away. Our sincere condolences to her family.  

Because all academic activities have been cancelled, here is how we have rescheduled your oral presentations:

Ms. Hassan´s students, Liempi, Linares and Linde, will give their ops on Monday, May 2^nd at 14:30 during Ms. Hassan’s office hours. These students should bring at least two other classmates as audience for their ops. Ms. Salmaso will talk about this with you in class on Friday.  

The students who had to give their oral presentations with me, Cónsoli, Davolio and De La Fontaine, will do so on Friday, April 29^th. If they can´t attend classes on Friday, they’ll give their ops on Wednesday, May 4^th. 

Regarding the essays you had to hand in today, Assignment #2, you will hand them in in our class on Friday, April 29^th. You may send your assignments with other students in case you can´t attend classes this Friday, but please remember that we won´t receive assignments by email.

Regarding Assignment #1, they will be all available on Friday, either at 9:40 in our classrooms after our class, or in the box in room 226 as from 10 am.

Warm regards,

Amparo Argerich

Dear students,

I am attaching the outline to the essay on Story of an Hour we worked on this past week. This outline should be the one you hand in next Wednesday (April 27^th) as part of your Assignment 2, which is a home assignment.

I am also attaching the first developmental paragraph of the essay; we all worked on it in class as well, on Wednesday, April 20^th and on Friday, April 22^nd.

What you should do is write the second developmental paragraph using the topic sentence we all agreed on together, which you must copy from the outline. It should be exactly like the sentence in the outline. Please, remember to write a concluding sentence to the paragraph.

You should also write a concluding sentence to the whole essay, which should be introduced by a connector (In conclution, To conclude, Summing up, etc.) and which should be in a separate paragraph. Remember that in the second semester you will be writing introductory and concluding paragraphs, but not during this semester.

Please, remember to leave space between your lines to allow for corrections.

When  you hand in this assignment, remember that the outline, because it is the plan to the essay, should precede the essay.

See you very soon!
