Your homework is as follows:
1. Identify an issue/questions that you want to
use as your focus for the sampling paper. I've made some suggestions on the
assignment sheet; however, some of the issues uncovered in our discussion, and
some of the excellent questions that you submitted for our class discussion
would also be appropriate.
2. Choose a relevant passage from Heart of
Darkness and a relevant passage from a carefully chosen source that pertain to
your question. I recommend using JSTOR and the sources in the back of your book.
Much of the work of this assignment is finding the BEST passages. Relying upon
the first passages you come across will lead you to......darkness. Also, be sure
that you understand the context and argument that the passages come from;
otherwise you will be misreading or stretching.
3. Write a solid
synthesis paragraph. Be sure to type or very neatly hand write your paragraph,
and be sure to include the passages and citations for the passages.
4.
We will speand the first 30 minutes of class on Monday peer reviewing the
synthesis paragraphs you have brought to class.
5. Be sure to complete
your blog by Tuesday. If you wait until Sunday night or Monday to post all of your blog
entries and you have technical issues on Monday, I will have limited
sympathy.....as will your fellow bloggers who need to respond to your posts.
Remember, the issue is QUALITY, not simply writing five entries.
