Homework for 9/6

1. Settle on a person you intend to write your "People Matter" paper on, and if this is a person you would be able to interview, prepare interview questions and then do the interview, recording the interview or taking notes that you let the person review so that you can be sure you got the answers given. I think a few people said they wanted to write about someone they knew who had died. In that case, you will need to interview someone who knew them. Whoever you interview, focus your questions on the things that make that person admirable to you.
2. If you are interviewing someone, you will also need one other secondary source for the paper. So try to locate a useful source - something about the person or the era the person lived in or some event that the person went through.
3. If you choose someone is is not close to you - someone historical or in the news today, you should have two sources. If you can find an interview or some primary source, fine, but both can be secondary sources.

The "People Matter" paper is due on Tuesday, September 13th and it must be a) submitted to Turnitin, so we can see if there are any problems anyone has; and b) submitted to me (hard copy) in class. We will likely read some and talk about them a bit.Requirements for the paper in terms of pages, fonts, etc can be found in the Archived English 101/Lape Writing Assignments Document.

4. Continued going over chapters 27 through 29, taking some notes and concentrating on those things you may not have learned before. We will go over these chapters, but we'll do it pretty quickly, so you should spend some personal time trying to go over them.
