It has been a while!
I had no idea we were supposed to write in our journals on Easter weekend, so I missed out on that one. But anyway, moving on to McPhee!
I am very excited that we have started focusing on McPhee's environmental pieces, as that is what really interests me (one of my majors being Environmental Studies). Throughout the entire course, I tended to stick to reading articles that had topics concerning the environment, but now the whole class is focusing on those too, so that's exciting.
I'm also enjoying the idea that everyone is going to be reading the same articles for next class. In previous classes when everyone would share a tidbit about what they were reading, it just made me want to read all of them, but alas, time does not permit me to do that. So now, we all have an opportunity to understand the article in its full text and then discuss it together like we did with "Pieces of the Frame" and "In Virgin Forest". I haven't had a chance to look at the articles yet, but I look forward to Wednesday's class to discuss them. I enjoy listening to what others have to say because they usually bring up ideas that I didn't think about while reading the piece myself.
