Notice for all Professor Chaucer's Students

Jan 07, 2006 22:03

The following notice is tacked to the doors of Professor Chaucer's classroom and office.

ATTENTION STUDENTS:

Here are your reading lists for Introduction to Western Literature and Creative Writing: Poetry. You are not required to have any reading prepared for the first lesson. However, POETRY STUDENTS ARE ASKED TO BRING A POEM TO SHARE WITH THE CLASS.

Each Western Lit class will include a quiet study time, during which you will have the opportunity to catch up on the required reading for the next class. Yes, this is a reading intensive class, but I think you'll all manage just fine. Copies of all texts are available in the book closet in Classroom #1.
