Water Main Breaks and James Joyce

Hello all,

I hope that you are enjoying your unexpected break. In order to try and keep up and not fall behind, I am posting a project for you to work on. I have divided the class into three groups of six. Each group is responsible for one part of background on James Joyce, Ireland, and The Dubliners. Instead of me creating a background information PowerPoint, you all will be responsible for the background to The Dubliners. Please read below for the structure of your groups. Be prepared with information on your topic when we go back to class. We will have some library time to get your presentations together, but you need to come to class with your ideas and notes ready! I will check them for a homework grade!
