Research Paper Calendar

Please visit the Research Paper Web Page to see the upcoming calendar of due check points and due dates. Not all links are active yet (the grading rubrics will be revised soon) but for you advanced planners, this gives you an idea of our timeline and steps in the process.

Checkpoint and Weekend Assignment

Remember that we have changed your submission technique for the Observation Notecards and that you will now be submitting them through Turnitin. The due date time is still Friday morning at 7:30 am, which is the equivalent of our start of class time.

Over the weekend, I would like you to work with the following discussion questions on Zitkala Sa, which we missed out on because of our snow day. The powerpoint here contains the questions and necessary images and the document here is an online version of the text in your white book. Please note that the sections of the online version that are included in your white book are: Section VII: The Big Red Apples, Part 2 Section I: Land of Red Apples, and Section II: The Cutting of my Long Hair. Feel free to read more if you want, but our book only contains those three sections.

You may write your answers to the questions on your own (after thinking about them) or you may discuss with ONE other person, and submit a response sheet with both of your names on it. If you choose to work with a partner, please specify up top how you and your partner discussed the passage: Facetime, Messenger, at Starbucks, etc. Note, it is not acceptable for you and your partner to "divide and conquer the questions." You must collaborate on all of them. Please upload your assignment to Turnitin by Sunday evening at 9:00 pm.

Reading Update

As a result of our snow day on Tuesday, our Zitkala Sa reading will be postponed until next week and/or will be turned into a homework activity. Please stay tuned for additional information, but you will not need to bring your white books to class Thursday or Friday of this week.

Reading due 2/6

Please read the memoir excerpt from Zitkala Sa (pages 935-940 in the white book). I would encourage you to ponder the questions at the end of the passage as well as the portraits.

Observation Checkpoint due Friday 2/8
