In order to earn bonus points, you have to take notes during our in-class discussions over reading assignments. You should fill more than one full side of notebook paper with observations on EACH of the two class meetings to earn bonus points for that week, but you must also take notes the whole period. You can write down things I say, things your classmates say, things you are thinking to yourself about the discussion, etc. Your notes will count for bonus points if they are detailed and full, you turn them in to me after each class, and you take notes this way in both class meetings in a week.

Extra Credit
You can earn bonus points all semester, but they will only count if you have turned in all of your Quotes Responses and Reading Notes. You can turn these assignments in on time (for credit) or late (for no credit), but they must be done and complete in order for extra credit points to kick in. Your extra credit points will accumulate even if you have missing assignments, but they will not be calculated into your grade as long as you have missing assignments.

Required Readings
Almost all of the required reading selections can be found in the Norton Anthology of American Literature, 8th Ed. Volumes C, D, E. Check the calendar for page numbers and to know when we are reading each work. Additional reading assignments can be downloaded here. All reading assignments will be the basis for reading notes and small-group class discussions.
