From Olivia: NA2

THE DEADLINE FOR NA2 HAS BEEN MOVED TO: Wednesday, November 4.

I repeat: NA2 IS NOT DUE ON MONDAY.

Please note that the other homework for Wednesday is still due!

(Need a fresh copy of the schedule?)

Also, here are the guidelines (again):

News Analysis
Use the news story you read for homework. It should be related to our themes and, unless we discussed an alternative, should be from nytimes.com.

Your job is to analyze the story according to our themes-- definitely IMY's ideas (social groups, oppression, criteria/five faces), maybe ideas about Documentation, maybe Social Justice in general.

What does this mean, exactly?

1. Use any ideas from class to analyze the topic and issues. It does NOT have to be an example of SJ Doc according to our criteria. It does NOT have to be an example of a social injustice.

2. Your goal is to simply use ideas from our class to analyze the story/the circumstances/the cultural meaning.

3. When I ask: "How does this relate to our themes?" I am looking for you to seriously and thoughtfully reflect on the information, using any ideas from our class as tools.

4. You might consider: What interesting connections have you found between this and any of our texts/other news/an OH?

Your analysis should include a clear thesis statement (in one complete sentence) that states your idea about this news item.

Use class notes and DH to quote the article and to put your citations in MLA format. In this case, you'll just have just one single source at the end ("Work Cited").

2-3 COMPLETE pages, double-spaced (you will be deducted points for underdeveloped, too short essays).

Thesis Statement=10 points
Development (with ideas, quotes, examples)=10 points
Use of MLA formatting=5 points
Grammar, Mechanics, Spelling=5 points
