Hello, all. As you'll have heard by now, we are having a DST ('Devoirs sur table') during the double period on Wednesday, September 15. You will be asked to compare any two of the major texts of last year in an in-class essay. You may NOT use the summer reading texts.
To refresh your memories, take a look at the Première texts page under the category of 'pages' on this blog. I've included some links that may be helpful in reminding you of the contexts of some of the works. However, the best way for you to prepare will be to look at last year's class notes, your old papers and the compos, and go through the annotated texts of the works you plan to focus on.
The DST is not a major grade, but rather a way to refocus, get back into the practice of essay writing, jog our memories about last year's texts and issues, and form a basis for continuing to build on much of the work you've already done. It will also be a way for me to see how you write, particularly those of you who are new to me. Relax, don't worry, and cast your minds back...
