APELC Class Notes

APELCers, yesterday and today I began conferring with writers over their free-responses to the Downe text. While I worked with individuals, pairs examined and identified schemes and tropes in the correspondence under scrutiny and continued to highlight the Ayad text.

I regularly listen to BBC World Service Documentaries, and this week I downloaded “Cutting the Lifeline to Honduras”. You might find it interesting especially as it relates to opportunity, immigration, and separation, three issues presented in John Downe’s letter to his wife and children.

A VISIT. It was nice to see former APELCer Marie Clymer, currently of Wellesley, who came by fifth period for a brief visit and who I put on spot by asking her to share a little of her experiences at and advice for college. Thanks for coming by Marie.
