Read the texts. Then do the following:
Read and annotate the texts, as well as complete the usual assignments of Word documents for important reading questions (Canvas) and answers (with a vocabulary section). You should also, as usual, have Word documents for the annotations. (Electronic documents on your computer and printed-out documents in your binder, as usual). 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. Remember: You have two readings. You should have separate documents for each assignment. Please note that from now on you must staple a checklist to the front of all Important Reading Questions assignments. If you do not, you will automatically lose five points. See Canvas for directions on how to create this checklist (below the assignment).
It is always helpful to research some biographical facts about the author. (Use Google.)
