Monday: You should have a draft of your position statement done. At the least, a paragraph introducing your position. We will then use the common rubric, and in pairwise fashion, critique each other's writing. For followup, you'll complete a short reflection online.
Wednesday: We will discuss Much Ado, using some of the discussion questions for structuring our group reflection.
Friday: So, what are these "liberal arts" things, anyway?
