2. Don't forget the EC for paragraphs starting out close reading. Just about no-one has taken advantage.
3. Most people have not posted the in-class writing from Friday. That's a big deduction from the class participation grade.

Supplemental Reading/Extra Credit/Class Writing
1. Many journals are ignoring the supplemental reading. Remember, the essay needs to take into account one or more of those texts. There is extra credit for using Timaeus, Embracing the Exile, or Stevens. You need to be able to give a close reading of the second text if it's a poem or analyze the main argument for Plato or Fortunato. I'm happy to help if you're stuck. NB: A lot of folks write about being confused (which is fine) but not a single person has described steps taken to get past the confusion!

After reading your post, I have become a little concerned about some of my assignments. I posted the in-class assignment from Friday, as well as two extra credit close readings. I was curious to know if you received them and was wondering how do we know if we gained the extra credit?
