Wednesday 1/17

Hello Comp Lit students,

I am sorry I am away today; but do not be afeard, the classroom is full of support. Mr. Edwards is here to guide you through a smooth and painless block period.

First, grab a chromebook. If the chromebook cart is not in the room, then it is in Fallstaff's room, I mean Mr. Reilly's room.

Second, watch the following crash course video:

You may choose to watch it on your own, in groups, or as a class projected by Mr. Edwards.

Third, read the excerpt from British utilitarian philosopher John Stuart Mill (1806-1873). Remember, Raskolnikov (and other young intellectuals in Russia at that time) would have been reading essays written by Stuart Mill and reflecting on his ideas.

Mark up the text and consider how the text is in "dialogue" with Crime and Punishment.

Fourth, do a little background research gathering on your poet. I recommend starting at the following website: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/

Remember to write down any information in your research journal!!
