Text:_____________________________________________________

1. Three items that you had to look up in order to understand the text, that hasn't been posted by another student. These aren't necessarily "vocabulary" terms, but could also be concepts, names, places, events, etc. Also explain their context, including where they appeared in your text and where you found your answer, both properly cited in MLA format.

1.

2.

3.

2. A quote from the text (cited in MLA!) that seems key to understanding its argument.

3. A quote from the text (also cited!) that you would like to think more about, and a sentence or two on why/how you're thinking about it.

4. A brief paragraph drawing relevant/interesting connections between this text and other texts we have read so far. What do we learn about this (or a previous) text that we couldn't learn before when we look at them together? How do they inform each other?

5. One solid open-ended question about the text, either on the macro or micro level (eg., about the writing itself or about bigger ideas it engages with, etc)
