Welcome to European Studies
Welcome to European Studies!
Today we discussed love and romance...our views of them and how they differ, and what images or words best represent love for us. We also had a short discussion about Shakespeare's view of love in Romeo and Juliet and whether it was similar to our view. Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet in the Renaissance, but you might be surprised to see that some of his ideas come from the Middle Ages. As we start studying European Literature, we will be looking for the answers to the following questions: what was the medieval view of love? What connections are there, if any, between our view of love and the medieval view of love?
Be sure to sign up at turnitin.com, and get yourself a journal (spiral or composition book) for English by Monday!

Welcome to American Studies
Welcome! I hope you will find this page handy during the course of the year. Today in class we discussed the question, "What does it mean to be American?" We started with our own ideas, then read and discussed a number of articles written by people with varying viewpoints.
Homework: Create a visual that takes our discussion into account and represents not only what being American means to you, but some of the new ideas raised in class. Be creative! Don't forget to write an explanation of your visual on the back. Due Monday.
Also, the last day to return the signature portion of your syllabus for credit is tomorrow, Friday the 9th.
Journals (a spiral notebook or composition book of some kind) must be brought to class by Monday.
