Current assignments may be on the first through third pages. Ignore the black dates above the posts. Scan posts for work with dates close to now (dates WITHIN the posts). The posts are in no particular order, so scroll through the first three pages. Keep copies of all your files on your laptop and in your binder. If I collect an assignment, not having a printed version will result in a grade of zero. Assignments could be collected at ANY time.

ENC1101: 9/11 Address to the Nation by President George W. Bush
Cut and paste this speech by President Bush into a Word document, then print it out. Highlight important sentences. When taking notes, refer to the post on this website, "How to Analyze and Evaluate an Argument." (See the Rubrics tab at top of website.) If there is not enough room for annotations on the printout, write notes in your binder. Indicate page numbers, paragraph numbers, line numbers, as appropriate. Also complete the "Shorter Analysis of a Text Activity": https://scholarmulhern.blogspot.com/2019/11/analysis-of-text-shorter-version.html. Please type the Shorter Analysis Activity, as you may need to email it to me.
Always remember to research some biographical facts about the author. Add these findings to your notes.

If you are unable to print the text, please read it on an electronic device. Make sure you have copious notes in your binder (indicate page numbers, paragraphs, line numbers) when referring to different sections. Of course, it is preferable to have a printed copy of the text.
