Short assignment for February 7 class

 

  1. Choose a quotation from the readings from Thursday. The quotation should be no more than 3 sentences. Choose a quotation that captures a central, important, or interesting idea from the article.

  2. In your own words, explain the argument that is made in the quotation. Your explanation should summarize the argument contained in the quotation itself, and explain how the quotation supports or extends the overall argument made in that reading. (1-2 paragraphs total).

  3. Bring the quotation and explanation to class on Thursday. A typed submission is preferred, but handwritten is also acceptable. If you are not in class, I will still expect to receive a copy of your quotation by e-mail or in my box before class on Thursday.
