Fifteenth Set of Questions for EN 211




Good evening :)

Today we held more of a review session.  Here is a link to the midterm prompts:

I am also attaching a copy of the midterm from the last time I taught EN 211.  Note that our readings may be different from the ones that my class looked at back in Spring 2010.

For Monday, please finish up Equiano's Interesting Narrative.

I am going to do something a little different for our journal.  Instead of posing questions, I will list readings, authors, and key concepts.  I would like you to write down what you know about 5-10 of these items.  This is open book, of course.
