Class today: October 12th/13th

1. Your Presidential Paper Outlines are due today.
2. Please upload your "as final as possible" thesis to Google Classroom by Friday.
3. Remember you have a Grammar Terms test on October 18th!!!

4. You will pick one of the read chapters from Foster's How to Read Like a Professor.  From this chapter, you will be creating a Google Presentation where you will address the following components:

• What is the title of the chapter and how is it significant? Meaningful? Intriguing? Essentially how does the title function for the chapter?
• What is the major claim of the chapter?
• How is this claim relevant to this class? To life? How did the claim challenge you to think? Change your thinking? Reinforce your ideas?
• What evidence did you find effective to the claim? What did you find interesting about his explanation of this evidence? 
• What evidence, independent from the book, can you bring in to support his claim made in this chapter? (I am asking you to bring in other evidence NOT discussed in the book. Books you have read... movies... tv... life...).
• Are there any significant terms/definitions that the chapter introduces?
• Provide a brief synopsis/explanation/reference points for 4 books, authors, characters that Foster mentions in his chapter that you may or may not know. (This will call for Google. Please cite your referenced material. Wikipedia will be acceptable... but I CHALLENGE you to find a more literary palatable source)
• Final analysis can include any of the following: What questions do you have after reading the chapter? What do you think it teaches a student of literature? What did you learn about writing and/or literature? How can students use the material in classes/life? 

NOTES:

1. Properly cite Foster with the PDF page number in the parenthetical citation for your presentation. 
2. Do a works cited "slide" as the final slide.  Here is the MLA format for this specific type of material: 

Huddle, Nichole. Framework for Success in Postsecondary Writing. 2011.
     wpacouncil.org/files/framework-for-success-postsecondary-writing.pdf.

You will submit your presentation to Google Classroom by Sunday, October 16th at 11:59 P.M.
You will need to review and reply to 2 fellow student presentation addressing other chapters by the end of the day on Monday, October 17th by 11:59 P.M.

By the way... 
Bob Dylan has been awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. 

Here is an article from the New York Times:

And... a video of Dylan's beautiful anthem "The Times They are a Changin'" (1964)
