Assignment for Monday February 8

Finish the reading in Little Brother by Monday's class and fill out the fiction note taking form I passed out in class. For Real Questions, write one sentence that summarizes the main idea for each section in the assigned reading. If you look at the reading, "tailor your thesis to the situation" is the title of a section. These titles tell you where to begin your reading and where to end it.

I strongly recommend that you look at the homework well before class so that you aren't trying to race to finish it the night before. 

Rhetorical Strategies

For your homework for Monday, take a look at the HO listed to the right on rhetorical strategies.
