If you were unable to find the Freud reading over spring
break (hard to believe!), please find it
HERE (click), read it and
complete a reader response to it. Also for
Wednesday, please read the introductory material in
Chapter 5 and prepare a thoughtful reader response to
the that.
There will be FOUR (4) readings due on Monday, so I
suggest getting started on some of those sooner rather
than later (each needs a reader response).
