Dear students,

Here is a tentative schedule for the Team Oral Presentations. 

Those groups that have to edit the topic, change or add a text, please come and see me in my office hours on Monday, October 24^th.

Remember that each group must meet with Felix in his office hours at least once while preparing the presentation. You should discuss with him 1) how you will introduce the members of the group, 2) how you will announce the topic (wording), 3) the main ideas you will be dealing with, 4) the evidence you will provide, among other aspects of your presentation. Felix will keep a record of the groups that have seen him.

Natalia Chavez, Bruno Cacmpos and Luis Gutierrez must join either Group 1 or Group 20. Groups 1 and 20 must incorporate at least one of these three students. Once Groups 1 and 20 have four members, one of these three students may join any group with four students.

I hope you have a nice weekend,

Amparo Argerich

The Namesake Audiobook

Dear students,

Here are the instructions on Assignment #8.

Assignment #8 is an essay on the first two or three chapters of The Namesake. The topic is “Contrast Ashima´s and Ashoke´s adaptation to living in America”. You have to write an outline and the essay.

The assignment is due on Friday, October 7^th, in class, no later than 9:40. You may hand it in the previous day in class, if you wish.

As with all of your essays, you should include the outline on the first page. The essay should be preceded by a title, and please remember to capitalize the first and all the content words in the title.

You have to write an introductory paragraph, which will contain the thesis statement at the end. We won´t penalize the mistakes in this paragraph. You may write a concluding paragraph, but you don´t have to. However, you do have to include at least the first sentence of the concluding paragraph, with an appropriate connector.

Please print your essay in an A4 sheet and hand it in in a plastic folio with your name in upper-case letters on the right-hand top of the page. Remember to leave space between lines to allow for our feedback. Please, don´t hand it in in a folder.

You will get your essays back on Monday, October 17^th, and will work on a second version to hand in in office ours. We will make appointments so that we can discuss your first and second versions with each of you in our office hours. Students who don´t take into account our feedback will fail the assignment.

I´m uploading again the last update of our office hours in case you haven´t seen it on the blog.

See you in class on Thursday.

Kind regards,

Amparo Argerich
