Submit Assignment

Your next timed, informal writing assignment will be from Chapter 6 from our textbook The Brief McGraw-Hill Reader. You will be asked to write a 1-page summary and a 1-page analysis on a selected essay from the list below. This is due by Friday at 11:59pm.

"An American Childhood" by Annie Dillard (214-19)

"Once Upon A Quinceañera " by Julia Alvarez (223-26)

"Our Mutual Joy: The Religious Case for Gay Marriage'" by Lisa Miller (228-34)

Under Canvas Announcements by noon Tuesday, I will reveal who will be assigned any ONE of the three essays from Chapter 6 in The Brief McGraw-Hill Reader. They will be randomly selected and divided up into groups of 6-8 students. I will also notify the class via Zoom during our upcoming meeting. Reminder that all our Zoom meetings will be recorded in case you cannot attend live.

Please send all writing assignments to Canvas--only if you are having problems with using Canvas will I permit you to send this assignment to my school email address.

Please write both the summary and the analysis on the same document, and turn everything in at the same time. The writing on this assigned essay should not take any longer than 30-45 minutes to complete. I will trust that you will be honorable in your writing and inquisitive in your independent learning for this class. Imagine that this is a timed examination and that your grade depended on it.

I also urge you to read all of the assigned essays simply for the pleasure and the acquisition of knowledge. Remember that one of my goals in this class is for you to improve yourself as far as writing, reading, and being a better human being. The more you read for yourself, the more you will begin to think for yourself--and that will get you closer to achieving the ultimate goal for this class.

Finally, you will notice that many of the essays will have questions afterwards--you are not required to answer any of those questions. You are simply required to:

read the essay. write a full-page summary on what the essay is about. write a full-page analysis going deeper into what the essay is about. turn it in to Canvas Assignments on time.

Thanks!!
