Important Note to Students

The HAMLIT assignment page is a convenience but not something to be dependent on. When possible, homework and reading assignments will be posted here, but you are expected to complete all assignments that are announced in class on time, regardless of whether they are posted online. If you are absent, or do not remember if there is an assignment, you will need to contact another member of class to verify what the assignment is. Neither I nor the site are responsible for your failure to complete this responsibility.

Due Friday-

Please complete the following required (and optional) components of the Colonial Comparison paper follow-up assignment.

1. Please write a few sentences about which type of person you are the closest to: Summarizer, Generalizer, Minimalist. It's okay if you reflect on being a combination of these people.

2. Please answer all of my questions that I wrote in your paper's margins. Reprint my original question, so I know what you're responding to.

*optional elements are below*

3. Rewrite 1-2 analytical units (examples) showing growth in your analysis. Most likely, the answers that you provided to my questions will help you in doing this. This may result in a slight boost to your analysis score.

4. If your score on conventions was lower than a 2.5, reprint your conventions error, explain the error, and correct the error. This may result in a boost to your conventions score.

Due Thursday

Read the excerpts from "Nature" and "Self-Reliance" in your red book (268-271).

Additionally, research Emerson quotations online and select 5 that you really enjoy. Copy and paste the quotations into a document and format it so that you have a pretty readable font-size (around 20). Cut out each quotation individually, and bring them with you to class.

We will be doing a class activity with these quotations, so make sure to get this done so you don't feel left out.

Scarlet Letter Reading Due Friday

You will be reading Chapters 1-6 of The Scarlet Letter for Friday, 11-17. You are going to skip the chapter "The Custom House" and begin with the chapter "The Prison Door".

Please keep track of vocabulary words that are new to you as you are doing your reading. You will need to demonstrate your new vocab acquisition during the week of December 5th. The method of showing your new vocab is up to you: you may choose to make a list with definitions, flash cards, a quizlet, post-it notes in your book--whatever works best for your brain.
