Today, students began class by filling out a student information sheet and completing their schedule verification sheets. Students are required to bring their printed schedules to class tomorrow for textbook purposes. Students then reviewed syllabus and classroom expectations. The class briefly reviewed MLA guidelines and began working on their book lineage assignments. Please review the instructions for the book lineage assignment below, and use Purdue Owl as a reference for proper MLA formatting.
Book Lineage Assignment:
Considering the definition of the word “lineage,” choose five books that you feel are a part of your literacy lineage. These should be books that have made an "imprint" on your life. List these books in a progression of your choosing, but make sure you can explain the progression (i.e. chronological timeline, level of importance). Type one paragraph (5-7 sentences), for each book, explaining why you have chosen the book as a part of your literacy lineage. Be prepared to share one of your chosen books and paragraphs with the class tomorrow. Bring in a copy of the book, or a picture of the cover, to share with the class. Remember that this assignment must be types in proper MLA format.
