Thurs 9 1 Notes and Assignments

The quest for knowledge sometimes leads


into out of the way places.


10th: Read the handout and answer these questions:
1. What were the people who went exploring looking for? Did they find it?
2. Where did the seed corn come from? (Explain your answers in some detail.)

11/12:
Keep in mind the due date for your 'final' draft of the Personal Narrative Essay. We discussed using authoritative sources in your research essays, and said that Wikipedia is not usually a source you will cite, but is useful for getting an overview of a topic, discovering subtopics, terms and names, and especially (sometimes) for the links and notes at the bottoms of the articles.

8th: We discussed some of the responsibilities and dangers of thinking for yourself. No homework.

9th: Be ready for an open-notes quiz on yesterday's discussion of the characteristics of myths.

Rhetoric: Thesis statements and outlines due TOMORROW by the end of class. Work on them now for a better grade!
