Hola,

I doublechecked the "Power Points From Lecture" tab and found the "Victorian" Power Point listed at the very bottom. You will find the "Modern" period lecture notes included with that time period as well.
Some of you indicated some concern over due dates.
Monday: The Glossary or Flashcards due when you take "The Beast"
Original Poem with Analysis (see Poetry Syllabus for description of analysis assignment) due Tuesday for Poetry Tea Party Day
Poetry Prospectus 5-8 due Wednesday of next week or Halloween I believe:)

Adios,

Johnson
