Brief Assignment 2/Reading 3

Tips for success:
-Follow all directions in the Raider Writer description.
-Be sure to introduce your reader/grader to the article. Do not assume that they know which article you are talking about. You MUST tell them.
-You MUST use “The Ethnobiologist’s Dilemma”– if you use a different article, you will NOT receive credit.
-When possible, identify both the theory of language and the person/persons who postulated it.
-Answer all parts of the question completely.
-Read the article MULTIPLE TIMES to make sure you understand it fully.
-When citing from the article (and you are required to do this) use MLA style. See your handbook and the link on the right side of the blog for help with this.

For next week you will need to read:
You are currently assigned Chapter 11 in the textbook. We are going to cut down the reading a bit.
Focus on and carefully read the introduction-page 391-396 and the article by Joan Van Marion 414-43.
Read Stephanie Coontz’s article and the introduction (423-426) and the Kathryn Edin and Maria Kefalas article (426-431).
We will be using these two articles for an in-class activity (for a grade) next week.

We will have a reading quiz as well over this information. As we discussed for class, you do not have to read to memorize every fact, but instead, read with an eye to structure, the steps the writer took to create the essay, and the organization.
