For Friday: Intro to Taoism and The Book of Chuang Tzu (Schedule Change--See Below)

For Friday, I'm changing the schedule slighlty so that the next few weeks look like this:


M 3      Labor Day
W 5     Sinuhe, “The Dialogue of a Man and his Soul”
F 7       Context: Taoism and Lao Tzu

M 10   The Book of Chuang Tzu, Chapters 1-3
W 12   The Book of Chuang Tzu, Chapters 8-10
F 14     Comprehension Exam #2

M 17    Chuang Tzi, Chapters 12-13
W 19   Chuang Tzu, Chapters 17-19
F 21     Comprehension Exam #3

After this, the schedule will be pretty much the same. If you are in the "India" or "Africa" groups, that means you will present on Monday (India) and Wednesday (Africa) instead. If you consult the syllabus, you'll see that I want you to do at least one set of questions for each reading. I know this is confusing if you were preparing to do Friday's reading, when I suddenly cut it. Don't worry about it this time. In the future, just keep track of whether or not your group will present on a given work, and if not, be sure to do at least ONE set of questions for that book. 

Remember, the presentation schedule is: EGYPT--CHINA--JAPAN--INDIA--AFRICA. So if we're on India for Wednesday, it will cycle back to Egypt on Monday, the 17th (see schedule above).

Let me know if you have any questions! See you on Friday.
