Library Visit

Tuesday March 4 will be meeting in the library in room 120. I also want you to take the weekend to think about a possible topic that you want to research for your final project.  This can be a myth, folktale, or legend that you want to know more about (classic or contemporary). It can be the current uses and influence a particular folktale of myth has on present day society. You can look at movies, stories, novels, music, etc and examine the mythology and folklore behind them. While you will not be locked into these topics that you bring for Tuesday's class, it's a good idea to have an idea and start to figure out what exactly you want to write about for your final research paper.

Second Paper Assignment

Those of you who are familiar with in-text citations are encouraged to start the next formal writing assignment. If you are not sure of the proper way to cite a source or unsure about what constitutes plagiarism, then wait to start this assignment until after Tuesday's class when we will go over citations.
