Due 12/4: 1984 and ASC

November 30, 2017 By

1. 1984–Read and annotate Chapter 1 of Part III (up to p. 239). There may or may not be a quiz on the reading; it’s up to Diego (just kidding).

2. ASC–Your first Precis is due! Remember, you must give me a HARD COPY of the precis in class Friday. Do not send it to me electronically. Other things to keep in mind:

  • Precis should be single-spaced
  • For every 4 or 5 pages of source material, you should have one precis page
  • Heading should be single-spaced in the upper left corner:

Your Name
English 4B
12/1/17

Use only the above for your heading.

  • Your precis should have a centered title and it should be formatted as follows:
    Precis: (Title of Source Article)

Follow all other precis guidelines previously posted.

3. Class Forum–Post links to the class forum. Keep in mind:

  • Post to  the appropriate class forum. So, if you are in 2A, post a response to the thread started in that forum.
  • Post your links as Replies to the thread entitled “2. Precis Source Links.” DO NOT START A NEW THREAD! 🙂
  • Please DO NOT post multiple responses to the thread; rather, just add links to your initial response as you decide on them (click edit to do that). Again, DO NOT POST MULTIPLE RESPONSES TO THIS THREAD.
  • Also, please indicate prior to each link which precis it is connected to.
