Calendar/Repository
After each assignment you will find page information in parenthesis. If you find a single number [for example, (125)], that will indicate the first page of a selection you need to read in its entirety. If you find a range or a set of ranges of numbers [for example, (1-85) or (439-46; 454-55)], that will indicate the specific pages of a selection you need to read. The bracketed items on each Big Six day are works I will cover in class; you do not need to read these ahead of time.
