APELC Class Notes

Objectives: APELCers 1) processed a novel, and 2) processed an essay.

First and third period APELCers, today we tackled that penultimate chapters of Things Fall Apart and then we discussed the Mitford text.

I don’t recall who (Sierra?), but one student mentioned an article I also had read and it had to do with journalists and the ethics of covering carnage which you can read here: “Reporters in Haiti blur the lines of ethical journalism”; and another student (Willie?) mentioned an piece about the final journey home of the body of a serviceman which you can read here: “Taking Chance”.

Finally, while looking for a photo essay I viewed last year, I encountered these two interesting texts with cutesy titles: “Funeral science: One business that’s still alive” and “Deadly job? Funeral workers risk cancer”. I guess people are dying to get into the profession. Snap!
