This week in Eng11
We're taking up the Elephant stories Feb 9-12. Ernest Hemingway's "Hills Like White Elephants on Monday, and Fran Ng's "White Elephants Like Hills" on Thursday.
Online sources you might want to consult on the stories: (1) From
Suite University; (2) Lit Database.
We've started the focused reading discussions last week with Aida Rivera-Ford's "The Chieftest Mourner." It went rather well, considering that we were only a handful. Your story assignments are posted in the e-groups so just check it out if you still don't know what story you will be responsible for.

Eng 1
Readings for this week:
Tue: The God-Makers of Pampanga from Newsbreak.
Fri: How to recover from heartbreak by trying really hard.
We're starting our module on process analysis so it would be helpful if you'd read up on it on your own in addition to our class readings.
Also, please don't forget that we'll have visitors this week, so please be in your best behavior. Thanks.
