ENC1102--"A Clean, Well-Lighted Place." Assignment posted on February 23, 2022. Assignment is due February 27, 2023.


Read the text, as well as complete the usual assignment of a Word document for important reading questions (Canvas) and answers (with vocabulary). You must include each type of question specified on Canvas. You should also, as usual, have a Word document for the annotations. Electronic documents should be on your laptop computer and printed-out documents should be in your binder (for the entirety of the semester--to be collected at any time). Be sure your printed-out text is readable. You have plenty of time to find a printer with ink. I will take points off any document that is unreadable because of poor print quality.

Remember, you can upload a picture of an annotated printout of the story to your laptop.

Also remember you are required to include an Important Reading Questions Checklist document to the front of the Reading Questions assignment. The Important Reading Questions must exactly match the ideas of those questions on Canvas and on this website.

It is always helpful to research some biographical facts about the author (not required). Use Google.
