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.

Reading due Friday

For Friday (4/5) please read the essay, "How it Feels to be Colored Me" by Zora Neale Hurston (white book 1117-1120). As you do your reading, please practice your analytical skills by thinking about her complex purposes as well as the various devices she uses to accomplish them. If you forget your book, a version of the text is available here.

For Tuesday of next week, we will be working with the document set about the Harlem Renaissance available here. Please consider beginning your study of these texts over the weekend. You should read and carefully mark each document, and outline how you think you may respond to the prompt, but you are not required to write the essay.
