1. First Word document for the speech: Create nine questions and answers (see Important Reading Questions in the Canvas Information Module). Use these question types to generate your Reading Questions (printed-out document in your binder and electronic document on your laptop). You must type your questions and answers in an MLA-formatted Word document. Be sure your responses to the questions have textual support (quotes). Label a second section of this document "Vocabulary." Type the definitions for all words that you do not know or words that you think some of your peers may not know (at least five--see Important Reading Questions, Part 2, directions in Canvas Information module). You must staple to the front of this document an Important Reading Questions Checklist. Use the Search box in the upper left corner of this website. Type in: Important Reading Question Types Checklist. Then copy and paste the information here into a Word document that you will be using throughout the semester. Save this checklist on your laptop. If you do not have this checklist, you will automatically lose points. If you check off elements that you have not corrected, you will also lose points.

2. Second Word document for each essay: You must type annotations for all paragraphs longer than two sentences in an MLA-formatted Word document (printed-out document in your binder and electronic document on your laptop). Indicate the paragraph by beginning with the first three or four words in quotes followed by your annotation.

Remember from this date forward to always review your work by checking the two rubrics on the first page of this website. Some of the comments may not apply to your particular assignment, but many of the comments will apply. By checking your work with the rubrics, you will avoid losing points on your assignment.

Remember, I could ask for you to upload any Word document produced in this class to Canvas on the day it is due or any day thereafter. Always save your Word document files on your laptop. (Label the file appropriately.) In addition, always print out your documents and keep them in your binder. Bring your binder to every class. I could also ask for your printed-out document at the beginning of class the day it is due or any day thereafter. If you do not have the work when I ask for it, you receive a grade of zero.

For those students who did this assignment last year in English Three, you can use the same work, but I would add ideas to the documents to make them even better. Definitely proofread the documents again.
