Blog Assignment 1: Shakespeare in the Bush (Due on Wed. 2/4/09)

After you read "Shakespeare in the Bush," discuss one or more of the following questions.

What assumptions did the author test out in the bush?

Were these assumptions verified? Why or Why not?

Was it possible for the author to translate the concepts and emotions of Shakespeare’s world into the African language and context to render the story understandable to them?

Or did her translation totally alter it?

To Post Here

This semester, we'll be trying to establish a class 'discourse' by creating a class blog. I'd like you to interact with each other and respond to each other's posts when appropriate.

Hopefully....it will be fun too.

First, I'll need to invite you to the blog.

Next, you'll have to log in through blogger.
After you've done this, your email address should appear in the top right corner of this page, along w/ the option to make a "new post."

When you've created a new post, click "publish post" and check to make sure it's up.

Make sure that you publish your posts.
