Read the text. Then do the following:

Read and annotate the text, as well as 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 from now on with the Important Reading Questions assignment, you must staple a checklist to the front of the assignment. If you do not staple this checklist, you will automatically lose five points. See Canvas for directions about this checklist (below the assignment).

It is always helpful to research some biographical facts about the author. (Use Google.)
