Modernity for 8/18-8/26

The Modernity class will meet on Mondays and Wednesdays with a "Reading and Composition" day on Friday (held in my room). In that time, students will be responsible to work on their assigned readings for history and English, writing for those courses, and planning ahead for other papers and projects. Use this time wisely!

We will begin the course with a brief overview of events that led to the "modern era" and then begin our examination of the Enlightenment. Students will begin the year's reading with Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen's class work, by the schedule below.

Thursday (8/18) - chapters 1-11

Monday - (8/22) - chapters 12-15

Wednesday (8/24) - chapters 16-18
