03.17 - Authorial Subjectivity, Reading Logs

We started today's class with a polar opposites style discussion around authorial subjectivity in non-fiction texts (author's expressing their opinions while also conveying facts). In our discussion we used Lara Bazelon's article  Scalia's Embarrassing Question to frame our discussion and then began moving the discussion towards Krakauer's role as author in Into the Wild. This is a discussion we will continue tomorrow.

Polar Opposites: Authorial Subjectivity

Everyone had the remaining time in class to prepare for that discussion tomorrow by completing their fourth reading log for Into the Wild (this is a log selected from logs 4, 5, and 6).

At the end of class, we reviewed the work that is to be turned in at the end of the week and by the end of next week.

Homework:

Read to page 126 in Into the Wild for Wednesday.
