due Thursday: finish Cat's Cradle, be ready for part I of a TEST that will count. Part II will come after we have had a chance to discuss the book in class.

This is what part I will look like:

You must have your book. I will ask everyone to turn to a chapter and ask them to pick brief quotations that would use to analyze if you had to find quotations that would help you answer a Guiding Question, then explain why you chose these passages.

(For example, in analyzing the "Just Walk On By" essay and the "Obama Ruined My Game" essay I asked you to choose quotations bearing on the Guiding Question, "in what important ways are the essays similar and in what important ways are they different?")
