Students always have access to their homework through blogs. The main blog should be checked over the weekend for the upcoming weekly agenda, which contains a reminder of the reading assignment, as well as any homework assignments or announcements common to all classes I teach. However, this class blog for the 10W class, that I call 10MLit12, will have much information right here. Homework will be abbreviated as "HW" below.
HW1 - a two-part writing assignment about your reading habits and how you spend your personal time, available on the main blog.
HW2 - a response to the updated questions to the article handed out during week one called Equal Rights Ascending. You can find a link below in the article post.
HW3 - About section one, chapters I to IV (pages 3 to 44) of Animal Farm.
