General

Please finish reading Koenigsberger Chapter 5 and, if you have time, begin Chapter 6. We'll be talking about The Romance of Tristan in section this week, which means that you'll have to read that book if you haven't already done so. (Zophy is just around the corner so start looking at that book as well.)

I hope to give your papers back to you in section this week. However, they are taking me longer to grade than I expected, so I can't promise anything right now. 

Movie: I'll be showing the movie A Man For All Seasons for my advisor on Tuesday night at 7:30 pm (RTBA). You are all welcome to join me. It's a wonderful film -- one of my favorites -- about Thomas More. I had hoped to show the second movie in our series this week but duty calls me elsewhere. I'll try show Braveheart either next week or the week after that. I'll keep you posted.

Quiz

Ghengis Khan

Hanseatic League

Email Assignment

Thank you all for your comments and suggestions from last week. I'll try to make the appropriate changes. I don't have anything specific in mind for you email assignment this week.  I'll leave it up to you. Keep in mind that this is part of your overall participation grade. Some of you have not been sending me a weekly message. If you don't have anything to say, that's fine. But at least  tell me that.
