English 3336 Restoration and Eighteenth Century Drama and Theatre
Prompt # 18
17 October 2012

Getting the work done

Reports

As far as I can tell,  only one person has edited her second report since last week, although the last prompt said,

Between now and next Wednesday, everyone should go read the recent comments and responses to their report, go back to your sources or to new ones, and revise it.
By Wednesday at class time, whatever other changes have been made, each report should have a coherent text addressing the question or issue you're working on, and below it a list of references or annotated bibliography, in consistent bibliographical form. If there are parts of your report which aren't directly related to your current focus, you should copy them elsewhere to save them for later, and delete them from the current report.
Preliminary reports on early plays

There are three reports on plays begun, but two of the authors have said they won't be in class this morning. I see no reason to meet. It would be a far better idea to get some work done. Look back at Prompt #16 for what you should be doing. I expect that by Friday there will be revised versions of the second report in place (this isn't simply a matter of form or responding to the comments of others; it's also about continuing to extend and deepen what you're reporting).

As well, there should be preliminary reports on plays posted to the wikis. They should be focused on the question, why should we, as people who want to know about the drama and theatre of the decade following the Restoration, actually read the text of this play?
