Dear students,
Here are the instructions on
Assignment #8.
Assignment #8 is an essay on
the first two or three chapters of The Namesake. The topic is “Contrast Ashima´s and Ashoke´s adaptation
to living in America”. You have to write an outline and the essay.
The assignment is due on
Friday, October 7th, in class, no later than 9:40. You may hand it
in the previous day in class, if you wish.
As with all of your essays,
you should include the outline on the first page. The essay should be preceded
by a title, and please remember to capitalize the first and all the content
words in the title.
You have to write an introductory paragraph, which will contain the
thesis statement at the end. We won´t penalize the mistakes in this paragraph.
You may write a concluding paragraph, but you don´t have to. However, you do have
to include at least the first sentence of the concluding paragraph, with an
appropriate connector.
Please print your essay in an
A4 sheet and hand it in in a plastic folio with your name in upper-case letters
on the right-hand top of the page. Remember to leave space between lines to
allow for our feedback. Please, don´t hand it in in a folder.
You will get your essays back
on Monday, October 17th, and will work on a second version to hand
in in office ours. We will make appointments so that we can discuss your first and second versions with each of you
in our office hours. Students who don´t take into account our feedback will fail
the assignment.
I´m uploading again the last
update of our office hours in case you haven´t seen it on the blog.
See you in class on Thursday.
Kind regards,
Amparo Argerich
