Assignments over Spring Break

1. Please read chapters 5 and 6 of Gatsby.

2. Your observation paragraph is due on Sunday, March 23rd by 11:59 pm. Make sure to submit it on Turnitin. Information and an example of an observation paragraph are available on the research paper page.

3. Your importance thinking activity is due on Tuesday, April 1st on paper. Please bring a printed copy to class on Tuesday. This does not need to be submitted online. Information is available on the research paper page. Note that you are completing this activity for only 2 of your importance quotations.

Miscellaneous:

You can find the overheads about connective phrases and examples available here.

I have also posted an assignment on Turnitin called "randome/late checkpoints" if you would like to submit a document asking for help over spring break. This is a better way that over email, so type up whatever questions you have, examples, quotations, whatever, and I will do my best to answer them if I have time.

Due Monday

Please read chapters 1, 2, and 3 of The Great Gatsby for Monday. There will be a reading quiz over these chapters. If you were absent today, and did not check out a copy, here are some options:

1. Maybe your house already has a copy?
2. Buy a copy from a book store?
3. Download a digital copy?
4. Borrow from a friend when he/she is done reading?
5. Public library?

The Great Gatsby is still under copyright law in America, so there is no free e-text that I can link you to. Interestingly, it is available on the web because it is not under copyright in Australia, but of course I would not tell you to access this copy, nor link to it from this page.

Begin Citation Outline

Please visit the research paper page and click on the information for the citation outline. There are a lot of suggestions at the beginning of the document about how to process your research and narrow down your ideas. You may not need that help, so scroll to the end of that document for the actual example of the citation outline format. Also, Google docs ruined most of the formatting with the cards on that document, so I know it is a mess, but I also don't want to take the time to try and fix it.
