Paper #1—“The
Timeline”—McFarland—Summer--2014
(Please read ALL of this post. It has a LOT of information about the paper, including home work for Tuesday, June 24th.)
Below is a set of questions that came up as a result of the class discussions on Thursday. You don’t need to answer them all, and you may even want to explore a few of your own questions. The goal is to explore 3-4 questions and do Rule of 3 for each question. That will give you 9-12 body paragraphs. (Introduction paragraphs will also be added in later.) Link to Rule of 3 guidelines.
HOMEWORK FOR TUESDAY, June 24th: Please pick 2 of the questions below and answer them. You will do Rule of 3, which means you will generate 3 Paragraphs for each question. SO, you will be bringing 6 (SIX) typed paras on Tuesday.
(Please see the other post to find out about the Reading homework for Where Am I Eating book.)
