We've covered chapters 1-6 of our textbook, or at least we should have. Now it is time to regroup, switch gears, and explore some details. Your first written assignment, not including your blog posts due every Wednesday of course, is an analysis of
Federalist Paper Number 10. Please download and review the short document before class on Friday. In class we will discuss it and have a workshop on writing analysis papers. Feel free to explore the seemingly endless supply of internet sources on the subject, but bear in mind that your analysis paper must be your own original work. For some background, I recommend having a look at the
Wiki entry for Federal No. 10. As for how to write and analytical essay, please have a look at
this article. Although it was written for an American literature course, it is valid and useful for other sorts of texts, or film, or art, or whatever.
Update: The essays should be approximately 1500 words long and follow MLA format. It is due in class on Wednesday, September 21st.
All written work must be submitted in class and via
TurnItIn.com. You will need to create an account on
TurnItIn if you have not done so before, and enroll in our class site.
