ARW homework due Monday, October 16

Dear Aa & Aj,

A. Shreeve.
Read and annotate. Try to finish in no more than 2 1/2 to 3 hours . Be sure to annotate while you are reading. I always annotate and all ELP teachers do as well, it is not possible to understand these difficult texts unless you annotate while reading.

B. ARP
1) If you have not done so already, read the ARP instructions carefully. The first part of the task is to summarise at least two definitions of "race" and two definitions of one other term: nation, culture, civilisation, OR ethnic group.

2) Post one paraphrased definition of "race" to the DIY Textbook. If you completed task 2a) from Wednesday, all you need to do is copy the definition you have posted to your blog and paste it into Aa ARP definitions or Aj ARP definitions.

3) Research one author's definition of one of the "other" terms above. Please note, a dictionary definition does not give the author and is not a suitable source to use in your ARP. Post the definition in your own words and details of the source to-

a) Your blog
b) DIY Textbook Aa ARP definitions or Aj ARP definitions

4) Select two specific sources from our class collection to summarise in your ARP. You will select a second source for "race" and a second for the "other" term from Aa ARP definitions or Aj ARP definitions.

5) Read your selected sources and summarise the definitions in your own words. You must read the sources you select, it is not helpful to you to summarise a classmate's summary, it may also result in a failure grade for this assignment.

6) Write the first draft of your ARP summary. Your summary will define 2 meanings of race and 2 meanings of one "other" term. Use paragraph form. Be sure to identify each author by name and the title of each source. Post your summary to your blog. Please print and bring your summary to class on Monday.

------------------

A couple of students did not do this homework due today, do be sure to catch up as you will report your answers in class on Monday:


Answer your Gould in-text questions in full sentences. Answer just one set of questions A-G, which we organised in class. Add your answers to the DIY Textbook. Please add (your name) at the end of your answer. Print and be ready to explain your answers in class.

Go to either Aj Gould text questions or Aa Gould text questions. Alternatively, go to Texts, ->Gould, ->the page for your class, and scroll down to your set of questions in the text.

-------------------

Thank you! It is really busy right now and I admire your dedication, I know you will each do your best.

See you Monday!
