English III--Read "Thomas Jefferson: The Best of Enemies" in your electronic textbook--Unit Two. Assignment posted on February 6, 2023. Assignment is due on February 16, 2023.
Read this text in Unit Two of the electronic textbook. Then create the following Word documents:
1. First Word document for the text: Create nine questions and answers (see Important Reading Questions in the Canvas Information Module). Use these question types to generate your Reading Questions. You must create questions based on the nine ideas. You must type your questions and answers in an MLA-formatted Word document. Be sure most of your responses to the questions have textual support (quotes with parenthetical citations). Your questions can be one sentence; your answers with cited textual support can be one sentence. Do not make this assignment more difficult than it needs to be.
Label a second section of this document "Vocabulary." Type the definitions for all words that you do not know or words you think another student may find difficult (at least five).
2. Second Word document: You must type annotations for all paragraphs that are longer than two sentences (in other words, you do not need to annotate short paragraphs) in an MLA-formatted Word document. Indicate the paragraph by beginning with the first three or four words in quotes, followed by your annotation. Your annotation does not have to be long--a phrase or sentence is sufficient. Do not make this assignment harder for yourself.
Remember, I could ask 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--see the Class Rules and Expectations tab at the top of this website.) 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 (not just when the assignment is due). If you do not have the work when I ask for it, you receive a grade of zero.
You have more than enough time to complete this assignment. I even give you independent work time during class. There is no excuse for not having work completed and printed.
How to Annotate a Text (You do not need to do your annotations exactly as they appear in the links. I simply include these links to generate ideas for you.)
