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 Monday

Read Part 2 of the Musings Packet, paying careful attention about how to make a thesis/antithesis statement rather than just a plain old thesis statement. Remember, a thesis/antithesis helps to answer a "to what extent" question, so you may want to try making one of this for your history introduction. Hopefully you notice how transitional phrases are key to making this a successful thesis/antithesis.

Here is the document with positive introduction beginnings.

And here is our "quiz" from in class today, if you need a reminder of what to avoid.
