Over the weekend

Freshmen - You should prepare for your quiz on Act II of Othello. The quiz will have multiple choice, and a fill in the blank summary which will test your knowledge of plot events, vocabulary, and literary devices.

Juniors - Your rough drafts of your position papers are due on Monday. Remember to work quotes from both the original source and your research into your writing. You don't need to have a bibliography for the rough draft, but you will need to have one for the final draft. Remember to cite your quotes using parenthetical citation of (Author Last Name, Page Number). If you don't have an author, use the title of the article. Follow the formatting rules for a position paper that we went over in class on Friday. We will really get into The Crucible on Monday.

If you have questions - leave a comment or e-mail!

When writing about the counter argument, does the course have to be from a person or article or can it be from my opinion?
My question is Did Olaudah Equiano live a normal slave life? My position is no. There isn’t any specific person or article that disagrees, but in my opinion a counter point would be that Olaudah was beaten, and put on a slave ship. Could I use this without an outside source?

Angel,

For your counter-point you could use quotes from Oluadah's story in the section where he describes his time on the ship.

Does that help?
