Looking Ahead

In the coming weeks, we will begin two assignments:

FThe first assignment is writing a college-level research paper.  To begin this assignment, you will need to select a subject you would like to learn more about.  Choose carefully--you will be intimately involved with learning more about and writing about this subject for at least six weeks.  Perhaps have two or three possibilities in mind when we begin next week.

 

FThe second is an interview with a senior citizen (the Living History Interview assignment).  For this assignment, you will need a person to interview, but a person as senior to you as possible. (Try for someone 75 years old or older).  This person can be a family member or a friend, but better might be to interview a stranger, one who gets little contact with others.
