As the school year nears ...

I've been doing school-related work all summer. Teaching a new course requires reading some of the materials to get ready. Just finished skimming a middle school version of some of the stories from The Canterbury Tales, and am reading Twain's Joan of Arc.

I've also begun to add materials - I found a really nice translation of St. Benedict's rule, for example, and am looking for a good excerpt from Beowulf  - and to revise materials I've used before. Just printed student copies of an excerpt from Sundiata.

In preparation, I've also subscribed to the St. Austen Review. 

Just a couple of weeks to go!

Pax et bonum
