Class Materials for May 09, 2023 (and New Assignment!)

For Group one only: Yes! as announced... there will be class this week on Tuesday.

You will need:

The original text of Gradation and your translations and your answers to the questions about the text.

FOR ALL GROUPS!

The new assignment is here! Here it is!

Translated the text and at the same time include notes on what you found in the story.

These notes can include:

- the structure of the story

- sub-parts of the story

- literary qualities of the story

- identifiable aspects of the language used (euphony, alliteration, register, foreshadowing, parallels etc).

- notes on the realia (physical and cultural) referred to in the story (including the connotations they evoke).

 - other things that you notice.

The notes should be from 1/2 a page to a full page (page = 1800 characters with spaces).

You may do this in English or Polish. 

You may do this by yourself or in twos or threes.

The deadline for your translation (and analyses) will be May 14, 2023.

The link to post your translation is below the jump (click where it says 'czytaj więcej').

Submission of translation and Class on May 09! (yes class on May 09, 2023!)

First, below the jump (click where it says 'czytaj więcej') is the site to submit your translation of 'Gradation'. I remind everyone the deadline is May 07, 2023 at 20.00.

Remember to include your name(s) and group numbers when you submit your translations and answers to the questions!

And remember the next assignment will be posted here on May 08, 2023.

And, there definitely will be class on Tuesday May 09, 2023! During that time I will discuss the answers to the questions and do some other stuff.

Your copy of your Miś subtitles.

This proposed set of English subtitles.

See y'all in class!

No Class on Wednesday, April 11, 2023, Office hours instead.

This week instead of regular class I will have office hours, 15:00-17:00 in 212bB.

If you have a question about a text you might want to print it out first (or send it by email ahead of time).

See y'all next week in regular class!

Revised Deadline and New Assignment! (yay!)

 First the good news... there's a new assignment! More on that later...

Now the bad news, the deadline for the Miś subtitles has been extended until Friday, April 14, 2023 at 20.00.

If you've already submitted them but want to revise and resubmit, feel free to do so, but put the word 'resubmission' next to your name(s) and group number(s).

The new assignment is here. Do not translate it. Instead, write a half-page to full-page analysis of what's going on in the story (hint: there's more going on than it might seem at first). You should pay attention to things like story structure, use of language, use of literary devices, word choice, etc. You may write in Polish or English and as usual work singly or in a group of two or three.

Submit it to the usual place.

Happy Easter!
