Important Note to Students

The HAMLIT assignment page is a convenience but not something to be dependent on. When possible, homework and reading assignments will be posted here, but you are expected to complete all assignments that are announced in class on time, regardless of whether they are posted online. If you are absent, or do not remember if there is an assignment, you will need to contact another member of class to verify what the assignment is. Neither I nor the site are responsible for your failure to complete this responsibility.

Due Monday, March 1

Your Importance Notecard due date is Monday, March 8th. Make sure you are making progress on your research. See the research paper page for more information.

If you were absent on Friday, we read the poem, "War is Kind" by Stephen Crane. You will need to write down important quotations and effects of his use of diction, irony, and structure (kind of in an outline form.) Then using this as evidence, craft a well-written thesis statement that explains the commentary he is making in his poem.
