There seems to be some confusion as to the requirements of the hand-inportion of presentation paper. This is a formal paper – and should be writtenand formatted like an analytical essay – including having a thesis, argument development,conclusion, works cited and all other para-textual apparatus.

As per our discussion on Thursday -- each class, 4 students will volunteer as class leaders -- they will be responsible for preparing to lead the discussions. The rest of the class will likewise read the discussion papers in advance and bring thier journal entries ready to discuss the assigned works.

Some students have mentioned not being able to access A Detection of Damnable Driftes through the Cornell Witchcraft Project.  It appears that the document has not been transcribed yet, which is why the message "No text file available" is displayed.  To read this text, you must view the scanned image, which can be accessed by selecting "100%" from the View As drop-down menu at the top right of the page.

You can also go here for the scanned image.

Thurday January 11th's class is cancelled. To compensate for the missing work -- we will cut down our work with Kempe. Please read the Kempe excerpts found in Luminarium for next class when we will discuss both Julian and Margery.
