Hi all, 

We are into the thick of things: Week 4 and 2-ish more to go. 

On the syllabus we are scheduled to turn from fiction to drama and as part of this, I want you to screen a film  adaptation of William Shakespeare’s The Tempest. My idea was that you could do it free of charge by using LaGuardia’s subscription to Kanopy, kind of like the Library’s version of Netflix. This seems not to be working right now. 

It has also come to my attention that we are all a little behind. I have graded your first papers and many of you are missing submissions. Some of you are also behind on blog posts and annotations. You also have Paper 2 due this week. 

So we may need a couple of days to catch up. I’m going to reconfigure the syllabus a bit and contact the Library to see what’s up with Kanopy. Let’s use this time to get the work you’re missing turned in. I’ll be in touch about what I can arrange about the syllabus schedule. 

Grades: you should be able to see your grade in Blackboard and you can see comments on your papers if you go to the document you uploaded to the Google Drive. 

Feel free to reach out if I have missed anything. 

All best, 

PF
