"Odysseus is dead!"  But we still have to turn in that essay we wrote about him...

FINALLY.  Frickin' finally.  You now have the opportunity to go forth and submit your essay after ratiocinating the heck out of it.  Beautiful!

We're not discussing The Odyssey or O Brother, Where Art Thou? in class anymore, but you can still attend tutorials through tomorrow afternoon, if you so desire.  You can also ask me questions through this here website. 

SO, just to remind you (and because several students asked), here's what you need to submit for full essay credit:
-Both dialectical journals from The Odyssey
-Dialectical journal from O Brother…
-Completed outline
-1st rough draft, plus peer revision feedback
-2nd rough draft, with ratiocination marks
-Final draft, in MLA format -TurnItIn.com receipt

Oh, yeah...about TurnItIn.com...  Did you lose that precious information, sweet child?  ::facepalm::  Here is the link to the blog post about how to upload to TurnItIn.  Follow the steps to recover your information if necessary.  Remember, most of you used Gaggle, but some of you used an alternate account.  Try to remember which camp you belong to. 

Tomorrow, POETRY.  Can't wait.  It's not all that mushy love crap written in obscure language.  I'd hate it, if that were the case.  Hopefully I can give you some background so you can appreciate it, even if not fall in love with it.

Until tomorrow,
Ms. B

The peer revision sheet is on the Toolbox page. You may need to find someone else. Perhaps your boo? She's my student too...

Hey Ms.Bellon, do we need to turn in the papers stapled together in that order?

That would be ideal. Most importantly, I need to receive them all so I can give you all the daily grades.

I just told 7th period to bring in a copy of their favorite poem for a couple of extra points, so we can begin talking about poetry tomorrow. I'd like tomorrow to be kind of fun, so I'd like poem suggestions from students. I guess I should open this up to everyone else...

Not required. We'll practice that ad nauseum when we get to the research paper.

Ms. Bellin is it okay for me to use other characters and events to prove Everett worthy of Odysseus?

Of course. Indirect characterization is still a reflection of the character as a whole. If you need it, use it.

And for the last box in the dialectical journal of Oh Brother do we just get quotes from the Odyssey or can we describe the similarity?

Ms. B

Should you be finished with your dialectical journal???
