It seems that the combination of my being out, your presentation yesterday during class and today being a day off school has kind of thrown things into confusion. Tomorrow I need to collect your passages so that we can do the class activity I have planned. We can push the class activity until Friday if need be, but please bring those to class tomorrow so that I have time to photocopy them. (This is all explained on that note I left for you with the sub.)
For the blog tonight if you knew to post--I would like you to search though what you've read so far for evidence of Hawthorne's opinion on the public shaming of Hester as a means of discipline (or control to use the same word we used when discussing the Crucible). We will talk more about the idea of public shame tomorrow, in the general sense, but for now I want to begin the conversation with the text itself. So--what is Hawthorne saying about this as a practice?
Also: announcement incase you did not see it--ghost papers postponed until Monday, Scarlet Letter revised reading schedule coming soon and explanation of major assignment for Scarlet Letter to come shortly thereafter.
