Assignments for 9/28 and 9/29


Note: One typical assignment for readings is to prepare three discussion points (questions and comments about the readings). If you do not read, annotate and/or write down discussion points, then you will not be prepared for our class discussions. If I call on you (asking about your discussion points) and you have nothing to contribute, then you will lose participation points.


  • Assignment for Friday, 9/28 (to be completed before class):
    • Read and annotate the "Cluster Argument" packet, pp. 1-12 (including the first-page overview, Michael Alvear's, David Frum's and Jonathan Rauch's essays). Define all of the unknown terms in the "Vocabulary" sections (pp. 5, 8 and 12). Prepare discussion points for each essay.
    • In TSIS, read and annotate Ch. 4-5 (pp. 55-75). Prepare three discussion points for each chapter.
  • Assignment for Saturday, 9/29 (due by 11:59 p.m.):
    • Submit Essay 1, Draft 2 (E1D2) to the eCompanion Dropbox. Title your file E1D2 only: please don't write your name; write only E1D2. Be sure that the file has one of the following extensions: .doc, .docx, .rtf or .odt.
