Homework:
1. Read the following essays, taking notes on what they teach you about how to write a "Definition" or "Classification" style essay:
- “Wikipedia and the Meaning of Truth” (239-243)
- “Four Ways to Talk About Literature” (206-207)
- “Four Sides to Every Story” (208-209)
- “The Lion, the Witch and the Metaphor” (210-211)
2. Look with some care through the terms on "Constructing Sentences" on pages 645 through 653 - maybe take a few notes.
- You should be familiar with what these terms mean: subject, predicate, parts of speech (nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections), "compound" (subject or predicate), direct object, indirect object, phrases of different kinds, clauses of different kinds, sentences of different kinds (simple, compound, complex, compound-complex).
3. Work on the Research Paper you have chosen to write about. Some of you still need to figure out exactly what angle you are going to take. AND please read your email. I may send you possible sources, may make suggestions or ask you for information I have not received from you.
