As noted in class, I will not be there on Wednesday. Here's the rundown of what everyone will be doing:
Sophomores
Sophomores
- You are writing the first draft of your legend -- a family story, a personalized version of a familiar tale, or a completely fictional creation based on the models discussed. The legend should focus on a single person and his/her famous/surprising/heroic/embarrassing action that lead to infamy.
- Tonight you are to find a RELIABLE article that relates specifically to your Frankenstein paper. Print and bring the article to class tomorrow, and you'll fill out worksheet evaluating the source based on its authorship, purpose and publisher.
- I'll also have a copy of "Frankenstein's Fallen Angel," a article by Joyce Carol Oates that will serve as our example for how to read, cite, annotate and integrate scholarly sources.
- Correction: in class, I indicated that you can print a Google Book; I don't think it's possible. However, you can still use a Google Book as a source, as long as it's viewable.
- You are also writing in class - a rough draft of your "snapshot" description paper. I want you to focus on a single moment, setting the context, and describing the scene, in an effort to preserve the memory. Be as specific as possible, appealing to the senses, and keep the "snapshot" central to your discussion. Your free-writing papers are by the door if you would like them.
