After Spring Break: The Midterm Paper (new DUE DATE) and other info

I've made a few tweaks to the schedule after Spring Break, which are pasted below. The biggest thing is that your Mid-Term Paper is due ANY TIME the week we return, but NO LATER than Friday by around 5pm. That should give you some extra time to work on it and iron out the connections between Sonnets. The Mid-Term assignment sheet is posted about four posts down (scroll down to find it).  

Be sure that you have a copy of Sheridan's The School for Scandal, which is a play we'll start reading the week after we return from class. We'll watch a film that introduces the world and the context of the play called Dangerous Liasons, which is an adaptation of an 18th century French novel that was all the rage in Austen's day, and of which she was a big fan. 

Here's the revised schedule for the rest of the semester, which we should pretty much stick to:
