This is my blog for last Friday just so that you know. I am finding the reading and annotating of Macbeth to be very confusing actually; it is not an easy story at all to follow, as it just seems to jump right into something that we know little about. Also, I'm a bit confused honestly why we are reading this in American Lit. It's not really American at all. Not a complaint, just a curious observation. The annotation of the story is marginally useful. Most of the work that my group, myself included, have been doing is just defining words with the stick notes, which isn't really needed when you can just double-click for a definition of a word.
I'm somewhat anxious about this project that we are going to be doing. I think I understand, but it is really hard to find a start-off point. I think it would be really helpful to have a day of class time to ask questions and formulate what we want to do in terms of our projects and schedules.
Truth is -- the Diigo thing for the Macbeth section was meant only to get you guys using Diigo again; I wanted to be sure that everyone had done some work both separately and together. The play itself does jump quite a bit, and the language is a bit difficult. We will talk through it and try not to let it take up too much time.
