Assignment for January 27

To prepare for class on January 27,


  1. Browse the text in composition history that has been assigned to you. Create a blog entry with your informal observations, and post it by Tuesday, if possible. Save your blog entry in the following categories: (a) your name; (b) texts; (c) methods and methodologies.
  2. Prepare for class discussion in which you will informally report on the methods and methodology of your assigned text.
  3. Read White, Tropics of Discourse, introduction (1-26); Becky will summarize and lead discussion. (Some of that discussion has already begun on the blog; you should read it before class. Remember to read comments as well as entries.) You may also find it useful to consult Hans Kellner's entry "Hayden White" in the Johns Hopkins Guide to Literary Theory and Criticism. Go to the library catalogue, and click on "electronic resource." Then you'll enter your SUID number and last name (lower case), and then you'll get into the Guide.
    UPDATE: Forget about accessing the Kellner article online. Look at the PDF I've sent you, and if you can't find it, email me.
  4. Insofar as you have time available, browse your classmates' blog entries on their assigned texts in composition history.

In class:


  1. Discussion of White, Tropics of Discourse, introduction (1-26)
  2. Discussion of possible projects and/or book contributions
  3. Schedule small-group meetings

For other weekly assignments, scroll through the Calendar entries.

Hmmmm.... I got through the library log-in page, but then I got to an individual Johns Hopkins login page, for which I don't have a password. Anybody find this directly? Or, Treasured Professor, can you offer a path from the library site that is not a link?

The Johns Hopkins site is still down. Revered preceptress, can you rewrite this with a point to the email you sent, so we are no longer tempted to click the dead link?

Actually, I sent everybody a PDF of the Kellner piece. Check your email, and let me know if you don't have it.

Now there's assignments coming via email, too! Yikes! I am so behind.

Yes, I was suggesting that you modify the text
to say that, instead of linking to the dead site.
Like a link-lemming, I keep trying!
