+ appreciating Literature. . . I am SO SORRY for not getting this articulated in class! Here is the assignment:
In 3 pages or less, please articulate your "love" literature. Remember, love is a consequence of commitment. Therefore, you may write of a future love of Literature based on a current commitment to understanding and appreciation without a loss of integrity.

The paper should comment on the perceived value of Literature to you personally. In other words, you should speculate on the evolution of your personality without Literature as an ongoing presence in your life and how it might differ if Literature is a part of your future. What do you anticipate it can do for you?

You may use personal pronouns.

Due Monday.

Hello class,

This year we will be turning in papers online. Please make sure you have a google account that is active and registered with group. You should also add comments to this document.

Regards,

Mr. Skousen

Welcome, again.

Hey Class,

We are starting a new semester. It is the second semester of your senior year. The temptation for many classes will be to slack off. HOWEVER, this class is all about take-aways that add relevance and depth to your life experience anyway, so grades should have zero bearing on your ability to work hard enough to have the great experience that is possible.

Right?

Mr. Skousen
