Euro/World 3rd period excercise for Tuesday, 5/15
Go to the following link (from a real college course):
http://www.middlesexcc.edu/faculty/Robert_Roth/ParaphraseEx.htmRead through the "Preface" and the "Preparation," then go carefully through the first two links in the "Helpful Links" section (both the ones from the University of Wisconsin).
Write paraphrases for the three passages in Exercise 2; print out your
numbered paraphrases to turn in tomorrow for a grade.
7th/8th assignments for Tuesday, May 15
Choose your final exam topic. The choices were:
Army snipers
History of the band Iron Maiden
The real Texas chainsaw massacre (murderer Ed Gein)
History of Nintendo
Famous overdoses (rock stars)
Now, go to Wikipedia and look up your topic. Based on what you find there (if it's overdoses, pick one famous musician who overdosed) write out a bullet-point outline of what you think you might write on the final exam[this should be different than Wikipedia's outline!]. Basically, I want you to familiarize yourself with your topic (I won't really let you use Wikipedia on the final exam; this is just practice). Then, go to citationmachine.net and make the Works Cited listing for your Wikipedia page. Turn both the outline and the citation in tomorrow (don't lose them!)
When you finish, try out the crossword puzzles at
bestcrosswords.com.
