Lesson Plan for Week 6: General Thoughts and Notes

Patrick Mooney, TA
Eng 150, Prof. Duffy
30 October 2013

Major topics:

1. Thought for the day:

                                    Thus, love of a country
   Begins as attachment to our own field of action
   And comes to find that action of little importance
   Though never indifferent. History may be servitude,
   History may be freedom. See, now they vanish,
   The faces and places, with the self which, as it could, loved them,
   To become renewed, transfigured, in another pattern.

   — T.S. Eliot, Little Gidding, section III, from Four Quartets

2. Administrative Issues:
   1. Attendance.
