Monday, 3/11 - Read 276-281 in the Literature book, "Only Daughter." Take notes on drawing conclusions as you read. You are responsible for p.281 Reading Strategy. Write one or two paragraphs on each idea (education, role of women). Then come up with another belief she probably has and write a paragraph about it. Each conclusion topic must have at least two CITED examples from the text.
You may cite your evidence in one of two ways:
- Quotes: page number in parentheses, after the quote but before the period
- Human beings have been described as "symbol-using animals" (Burke 3).
- Paraphrasing: cite all ideas that aren't your own original thoughts, even if you didn't quote directly:
- Wordsworth extensively explored the role of emotion in the creative process (263).

Is this due tomorrow and I am confused on what we do? We have the dinner party project tonight so I will not be able to do any homework.
ReplyDeleteWe have the dinner party tonight, and i need to spend an hour+ on cooking for the project. None of us have time fo dat. Also, this assignment makes no sense to me.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
I see no reason you couldn't have finished this DURING class (especially when you have time to complain about it). It's fairly easy reading, and you only had to write three paragraphs. If you're still confused, try this:
ReplyDelete1. Read the memoir. Think about how the author's words reveal her ideas or beliefs about the concepts you will address below.
2. Write a paragraph explaining her views on the importance of education. Cite two examples that support your thesis.
3. Write a paragraph explaining her views on the role of women. Cite two examples that support your thesis.
4. Write a paragraph explaining her views on [topic of your choice]. Cite two examples that support your thesis.
I hope your dinner party went well.
Now do your homework.
