Homework
- The outlines that were due today. If you haven't typed them, I need you to do so. Remember the outline is just that. An outline for the paper. You don't have to write the full paper. I received a full paper which is fine but it was not required for this part of the assignment. The easy way to do this is to click on the Analysis Outline link on the blog. Go to File and then select Make a Copy. This will allow you to go ahead and edit the document right in Google Docs and then you just have to share it with me when you're done. The Sample Analysis Outline that I gave out last Friday is also on the blog if you want an idea of what I'm looking for. Have this to me by Monday. If you do so, I will give you feedback on your outline to let you know if you're on the right track. I will not accept any outlines I don't receive by Monday. This assignment was technically due today so all you should have to do is type it up. You were basically given an extension so I won't accept any that are late.
- If you haven't read the short stories, please do so and come to class Friday with a one sentence thesis statement written for each story. From each story, what is a message you received from it. Again check the sample outline for an example of a thesis statement. You'll pick a major theme from the piece, for instance, the theme of addiction is prevalent in Sonny's Blues and then tell me what you think the piece is saying about addiction. We will look at the statements you come up with and narrow down which ones are good and which ones are not and talk about the ways you could go about defending those statements. It's an easy assignment considering the reading should already be done. One sentence thesis statement for each story.
