All reading assignments can be found in BOTH the 11th ed. and the 12th ed. Check your book's Table of Contents for page numbers.
Between essays, we will be reading many of those in your book. For Tuesday next week:
"Indian Education," and "Shooting an Elephant" -- Obviously, we need to discuss the content of the essays, but remember that the point of reading these is also to examine how the essay is put together. How does the author convey his ideas. Is the essay written typically--or atypically? If it is written atypically, WHY did the author choose that manner of arrangement?
Be prepared to discuss the 3 questions under "Reading Literature" for the essay by Sherman Alexie and questions 2 & 3 under "Purpose and Audience" and 1-3 under "Style and Structure" for the essay by Orwell.
NOTE: you are not being asked to write the answers to those questions, but be prepared by being ready to discuss them
Expect to write a paragraph in-class concerning a topic from one of these essays.
