"Friend, Ah You Have Changed"

(Activity intended for section 001) We read the poem in class and we started a collective analysis of the poem. Now, finish reading and tell us how you interpret the end. Is it obvious? Why not? What denouement do you suggest? What happens to the speaker? What happens to his/her 'friend' at the end?
Go ahead a publish your view...

Anybody out there???

It is curious -to say the least- that no one has left a single note to express his/her concern on the tests or possible changes in the calendar or ANYTHING! Yet, I am glad I learned that at least one of my favourite students is reading BEYOND what I have asked you to read.
Because of that -and the hope that someone else might be interested in reading for the sake of reading and just the pleasure of living parallel lives printed on paper- I decided to make some more literature available for you in this blog.
So, you'll find Hamlet, Romeo & Juliet, and Shakespeare's plays in the form of short stories, ready for you to download from the column on the right. Thanks to Voruska's comments!!!
Thank you for coming, see you any time, enjoy yourselves and READ!!!

ps.- I also posted Marlowe's Faustus at Mr A Valencia's request.

Updating depends on you!

Now you've got the basic information you need to find your own whereabouts (where on earth your feet are standing!) and move forward to achieve the best results in this course! Check the downloadable information (in the column on the right) and decide what you need to revise. We have also added an Excel file (Check your own record...) for you to fill in and keep your own performance under permanent surveillance, should you want to make changes on the way!
