November 10th

1. You will pick one* of the already 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:

*Extra Credit Opportunity: Instead of addressing one of the four chapters you have already been assigned, you may pick two chapters that I haven't assigned, and use these TWO chapters the subjects of your presentation. This is NOT in addition to the 1 of the original 4... but in lieu of... 

• 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). It will still need to be CITED!
• 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:

•  Properly cite Foster with the PDF page number in the parenthetical citation for your presentation. 
• Do a works cited "slide" as the final slide.  
• You will submit your presentation to Google Classroom by Tuesday, November 15th at 7:29 A.M. Please Post the LINK below. Make sure the presentation is set to "VIEW". Also post what specific chapter your presentation addresses in your post. 

You will need to review and reply to 2 fellow student presentations addressing other chapters by the end of the school day on Wednesday, November 15th by 2:23 P.M.
