This format emphasizes your written contributions to the discussion of the work we are looking at in class each week, and should give you time to think about what you want to say and contribute it quickly. Remember that you are only "present" if you contribute to the discussion, and those who contribute more, and more thoughtful comments, will get higher marks for participation. Use your real name, not an alias, and your real e-mail address. I would encourage you to work in groups--as long as your groups stay on topic. Talk amongst yourselves, as they say, and then post your considered comments to the bulletin board. Make specific reference to the parts of the work that support your observations. Arthur Miller,
