ESSAYS were due in class; turnitin.com closes at 11:59 p.m.

Essays
Most people are in good standing (done with all components). As in-class people heard today, the following message applies to a small minority:
Although the credit window has closed for drafts one and two, the necessity of getting these drafts IN to turnitin.com does not go away.  No credit for the final essay (100 assessment points) without having submitted all three drafts to turnitin.com. Therefore, I am re-opening the windows for the first two drafts today (but again, not for points); on Monday I will re-open the final draft folder after having a short one-on-one with all affected parties.)

Frankenstein, OR THE MODERN PROMETHEUS

1) Do a quick Google check for Prometheus (or use Edith Hamilton Mythology, Bulfinch's Mythology, etc.)

2) Objective Test over Frankenstein on Tuesay. It will not take the full period.  It will be fairly detailed.

Apology to 1st period-- At the very end of class (when we actually talked briefly about Prometheus, but not in enough detail),  I forgot to say this.  There had been some vague reference earlier in the week, but I hadn't definitively said which day.  Sorry--friends can tell friends, etc.

3) At this point, everyone SHOULD have finished the novel, and be working on the last section only of your topic-tracking (writing out, neatly by hand or on the computer, quotations--including elements from descriptiove passages, not merely "somebody talking").  Note, however, that there was no reading check today.  I know full well that some of you haven't finished the book, and I expect that many of you haven't finished the tracking assignment.  That is your week-end homework.  I do NOT need to see the print-out on Monday (though it will be handed in later in the week), but not having it done by Monday will unnecessarily complicate the rest of the week.
