This week's assignment

Tue Dec 09, 2008 10:35 pm by Mitzi100

Hi Everyone,
I made a mistake and sent the assignment in a mail message! In case you didn't get it, here it is again!

By now you should have finished 3 assignments for the story "The Ransom of Red Chief". These assignments should be done in order. If you have any questions, just send me a message and I'll explain.
Now it's time to know about the author of this story - O'Henry. You have an article in your booklet, but you may choose to find a different article on the web (just NOT Wikipedia!) . It doesn't have to be long - even a few paragraphs will do. Read the article and write a paragraph (about 100 words) about how the information in the article enhances your understanding and/or appreciation of the story. You can include a summary of the relevant parts of the article in your paragraph. Post your paragraph to the forum and then comment on one other post. If you choose to use an article from the web, copy and paste the url onto your post to the forum.
On Sunday we will write reflections about this unit. We will also put the logs together. In order to be able to do that, please bring all of the assignments you have done in this course. Please also print out the assignments you posted to the forum. It is very important that you bring everything to class on Sunday so we will be able to finish in time for the deadline.
Finally, it seems that we will have to do the writing task that I told you about. You must each choose ONE of the poems OR stories OR the play. You must find one (short) article (that we haven't read yet) about the author, or the culture or history reflected in the piece of literature that you chose. You must think of a topic ( basically, how the article enhances your understanding of the piece). Please decide on your choice and send me a message so I let you know if it's OK and help you find an article. Please send the message by Friday at the very latest! I think we need to find the time to do this writing task next week, so we will be ready on time.
Looking forward to hearing from each of you!
Mitzi
