*You are never required to answer any questions or do any activities in the PDFs unless I tell you to do so. However, reviewing the questions and/or activities may help you understand the reading better.
The format for naming every Word file is: LastNameFirstName__Assignment Title__Name of Course__Period #.
Specific Directions for Creation of Word Documents for the Reading
1. First Word document: Create nine questions and answers (see Important Reading Questions in the Canvas Information Module). 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 at least five words that you do not know or words that you think some peers may not know. You need to staple
an Important Reading Questions checklist to the front of the document.
Be sure you have reviewed each aspect on the checklist. If you do not
have this list stapled to the front of this assignment, you will
automatically lose points. If you simply check off items on the list
without actually reviewing your work and correcting mistakes, you will
lose points. As stated in prior posts, to find this checklist, use the Search box in the upper
left area of this website. Type in the search term: Important Reading
Question Types checklist. Copy and paste the information into a Word
document. Keep this file on your laptop, as you will use it throughout
the term.
2. Second Word document: You must type annotations for all paragraphs longer than two sentences in an MLA-formatted Word document. Indicate the paragraph by beginning with the first three or four words in quotes, followed by your annotation.
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 assigned work at any time. If you do not have the work when I ask for it, you receive a grade of zero.
