Today we watched the video clips below and discussed our personal immigration stories. If you were absent, watch the first minute of the Godfather clip and all the rest of the clips and write a one-page narrative of a personal family experience involving immigration. Be sure to hand in the paper for the class participation grade today.
The first new reading selections are below. You should begin reading tonight with the regular expectations of about 1 hour/day. We will discuss Letter III tomorrow, so please read and finish that tonight.
I'll give you the assignment later for the two works below. Right now, just check out the chapter headings in O Pioneers and skim the first few lines of some chapter from The Jungle to become acquainted with the works.
