Skeleton Man and Little Red Riding Hood



Hello Everyone,

To watch the video greetings for the week, just scroll down before listening to this short 28-minute presentation that introduces you to Skeleton Man, the novel we begin this week and that talks a bit about the versions of Little Red Riding Hood you will read.

As the notes indicate, you will discover on the internet a wealth of material about this enduring tale. In fact, here you can watch Sum Guize, a bluegrass band that includes Peru State Art Professor Ken Anderson and UNO Creative Writing Professor, Art Homer--to see some of his reading and singing from his April visit to Peru State, click here--perform a song about Little Red Riding Hood.

As usual, we have a lot of reading, but you will find all the material of interest. So read carefully the notes and take in the videos when you have a chance--before or after the reading.

Enjoy a productive week, Bill
