Tues and Wed nite classes.... HW to get started on the last essay assignment.

HW to get started on the last essay assignment. 

As you know this essay assignment has 4 questions. For next Tues, pls bring Q1 and Q2 finished. (Many of you have already done Q1. You may just want to go back and revise it, bring in quotes, etc.--make the para longer.)

The goal is to bring 6 paras to class on the 10th for the Tues class, and on the 11th for the Wed class....


In addition, you should watch this short video about the guy from India who helps the homeless in his community. It can give you some quotes you can pull for the paper. ..

Here is a link to the SIC website... the tab that has a LOT of info related to our work with Tennyson Initiative. I encourage you to read through the different documents. It will give you lots of ideas for the 4 questions that you are doing for the essay.
