Assignment for Friday, 04.10.20

Dear Satirists,

For Friday, April 10, please do the following.

(1) Read and translate

  • Juvenal, Satire 3.41–80.

(2) Review carefully the compendium (sent via email) of your peers’ annotations on Gold (2012). Ask yourselves the following questions as you proceed.

  • What did you notice about the piece that your peers did not? And vice versa?
  • Would your peers’ annotations help them with a theoretical semester project on Roman satire? Why or why not?
  • What best practices for annotations might you extrapolate from the compendium?

Friendly reminder to turn in your scansion from Wednesday with any necessary corrections before today’s class — if you haven’t already done so.

Assignment for Monday, 04.06.20

Dear Satirists,

On Monday, April 6, our modified semester project officially gets underway. Please do the following.

  • Annotate, per the new instructions on our Semester Project page, Barbara Gold’s essay, “Juvenal: The Idea of the Book” (2012).
  • Submit your annotations to me as a PDF by email by noon (EST).

I’ll compile your annotations into one document, and circulate it before class on Friday, April 10, which is when we’ll discuss what people had to say.

Please let me know if you have questions.
