Oh, Okonkwo!  What will happen next?  You never listen to your emotions.  Maybe you should occasionally.

Can you believe THAT HAPPENED?!  I was shocked, myself!

For Sunday night's blog comment, please leave the following information:
1.  What "scene" in this chapter did you find the most interesting?  Why?
2.  What question do you have for any of the characters involved in your chosen scene?  What choices would you have made that were different from the decisions in the text?

Have a great weekend!

It's called Uli.  Check it out!  Maybe we can imitate this in our party, fully clothed, of course!

Nigerian Christmas?!

Your homework assignment, as follows, is due Friday at midnight.  Your job is to peruse the websites below and use an excellent brush stroke sentence to comment on the links.  You may have more than one sentence as a comment, but only one is required.

Have fun!  (And try to think of solid plans for a Nigerian Christmas Festival in class.  You need to choose activities, food, decorations, etc.  If you do not, there will be no party!)

Prosopography

What is that word?  (pros-uh-POG-ruh-fee)

I will give ten extra credit points to the first person to post the definition on this blog and a brush stroke sentence that clearly demonstrates the use of the word.

Speaking of prosopography, I hear that you are having trouble with the prosopography of Things Fall Apart.  We will be working on that today.

Reading Day!

We read books of our own choosing that have nothing to do with a grade, except that students earned a 100 as a homework assignment by bringing them to class.  It was amazing!  If you weren't in class, you missed it, but it did not count against you.

Nigerian Christmas!

I have an idea!  What if we have a Nigerian Christmas party?  We would have to do some research to determine how they celebrate the holiday.

Click here to see a classic Nigerian Soup recipe.  Anyone want to make it?  Click here to find out more about Nigerian food traditions.

Comment on this blog to let me know what you think.

No worries.  No more 26 minute classes!

(Take a look at yesterday's blog.  You can still get extra credit today, if you try.)

A two hour delay means that classes are 26 minutes long.  Exactly what can we accomplish in 26 minutes?  Hmm.

    I will keep this little blog here so you and I can communicate better.  Please note that it does not replace your BRAIN.  Attend class, take notes, ask questions - these are your best and most powerful tools - not the blog.
