Nuzum's "The Monster's Sacrifice--Historic Time: The Uses of Mythic and Liminal Time in Monster Literature" and Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are Today at the beginning of class you took an open article reading quiz. After the quiz, we spent some time discussing Nuzum's article. I asked you to work with a small group to break down Nuzum's article; you: wrote a summary of the article and identified the thesis, located definitions of important terms and scholars, and traced the argument Nuzum makes using Sendak's text. Each group then presented their findings. You can access the group document HERE.
I then projected a list of the discussion questions our bloggers put forth and passed around the colored discussion cards I talked about last class. I gave you a few minutes to write out notes or find page numbers, and then we discussed Sendak's text.
