Welcome to Week 5 of our OpenLab course. BMCC is officially closed on Monday, February 20th for Presidents Day. However, you must still complete the week’s activities.
This week will be reading “Araby” by the renowned Irish writer James Joyce. I look forward to hearing your responses to this dark and soulful story.
“Araby” will be accessed through the Commonlit website, which we will be using frequently during the term. If you have not yet created an account with Commonlit, please review the easy directions in COURSE INFORMATION. Note: You do not have to write the answers to the short questions on the CommonLit website; however, I do suggest that you review them to enhance your understanding of the story and in preparation for future quizzes.
Note: There are two quizzes this week, Quiz 4 and a special Essay Introduction quiz. Students must complete the Essay Introduction quiz before submitting the written Essay Introduction..
In order to have your Essay Introduction read and graded, you must first take the Essay Introduction Quiz.
The Essay Introduction is only a one-paragraph introduction. Please follow directions with utmost care.
