Read the text. Then do the following:
Read and annotate the text and complete the usual assignment of a printed-out Word document for important reading questions (Canvas) and answers (with a vocabulary section). You should also, as usual, have a Word document for the annotations. (Electronic documents on your computer and printed-out documents in your binder for both the Important Reading Questions and the Annotations). These could be collected anytime during the semester. If you do not have an assignment when I ask for it, you earn a grade of zero. Please note that with the Important Reading Questions assignment, you must staple a checklist to the front of the assignment. You will automatically lose five points if you do not staple this checklist. See Canvas for directions about this checklist (below the assignment).
You also have the option of printing out the text and annotating it. Then take a picture of the annotated text and upload it to your laptop.
It is always helpful to research some biographical facts about the author. (Use Google.)
