Class,

Please spend some time re-reading Ferdinand's "Requerimiento of 1510," and consider this ordinance in light of what you understand about postcolonial theory. Write a brief one-page response. You have freedom here to respond any way that you desire. You can focus on the three C's (compelling, confusing, controversial) or you may analyze the document with a postcolonial reading. You can even describe your own reaction to such a document.

Next, please continue reading Things Fall Apart, about the next 6 chapters and prepare for your literary circle. I'm sorry we ran out of time today to work on those, but we will devote more time next week after our presentations.

I did mention that I would include the map of European discoveries here on the blog, so you will see that link below.

Continue looking over the vocabulary words. They are an easy way to boost your grades if used correctly in your writing.
