Summer 2013 assignment is posted!

There's a link at right to the summer assignment. In addition, another link provides information on how to effectively annotate your reading. If you have any questions, post a comment here.

See you in September!

UPDATE: I see that, last year, on the first day of school, some questions arose regarding the written part of the assignment. Let me address one of those questions now.


I'm not expecting, nor do I need to see, vast portions of quoted text. Let's say there's a long paragraph introducing a character, and you'd like to reference all of it. Your options are to quote only the key portions (using ellipses to indicate what you've left out) or to quote largely the opening and closing, quoting other fragments of the text in your narrative explanation. The point really is to follow the "spirit of the law" rather than the "letter of the law." I want to see quoted matter; I want to see you attempt a format like what Lodge uses; and I want to see (most importantly) that you've grasped how to apply the particular point from Lodge.
