• Next class
• The central reading assignment for Class 17 is Franco Moretti, Graphs, Maps, Trees (2005), pp. 35-64 (the chapter on "Maps").  Prior to class, each student should edit the page titled "Passages chosen for discussion from Franco Moretti's 'Maps' Chapter" (located in the practicum folder for the day) to mark out a passage or map in the chapter that they think is worth discussion or have a question about.  Look for something that sparks  your interest, makes you deeply puzzled, or that you think is particularly important for literary studies.  (Be sure to "save" the page when you are done, both to save your work and to release the editing lock so that others can edit!)
• Practicum on mapping for next class.
• Tech help if you need it

• Mock Project Proposal Assignment (due last week of course)
• Questions?
