Description

There is so much to read on this subject—way more than we can fit in one quarter! This assignment encourages you to keep reading along paths that interest you by asking you to select three essays to annotate on your own.

There are two parts to this assignment.

1. ANNOTATE THREE ESSAYS FROM THE ANNOTATION BANK.

You can choose from any of the essays here or you can send your idea to Prof. Posner for her approval. You will need to annotate the essays by hand, and in order to do that you will need to print out the essays you choose and turn each one in by hand at classtime on the relevant due date.

You should aim for between 10 and 20 annotations per essay. Referring to the annotation types described here, one of the annotations should give context, one should be a comment, and the rest may be distributed among the other categories described on the page.

You should be prepared for oral questions about the essays you annotated.

2. SYNTHESIZE ALL THREE ESSAYS.

Directions are here.
