TODAY IN CLASS
Rotation discussion (pairs mostly; a couple of 3's) of the questions following the Berg and Malumud stories in Chapter 8.  People who had prepared the "Matchmaker" questions were paired with those who had prepared the questions at the end of  "The Magic Barrel." However, we rotated pairs every five minutes or so.  The reading, questions, and discussion will culminate in the assignment due on Thursday (see below).

FOR TOMORROW
Use this copy ONLY for your reading.  Translations vary, and I want everyone to have utilized the same thing.

Read Section I.  In your notes, keep track of three general areas:
1) What happens to Gregor's senses (sensory perceptions) during the course of Part I
2) What happens to "communication" during the course of Part I--be sure to consider it a 2-way process (perception and production)
3) Assess characteristics of specific family members in terms of their responses to Gregor during Part I

DUE ON THURSDAY
A typed, cohesive paper responding to the "Excercise" instructions on p. 397 of Perrine.
