Tuesday, October 8th

1. R & C.

2. From the Preface, put in your notes the following:

• Ghobash's main reason/purpose for writing this book (in your own words) AND two quotes from the text that supports your reasoning.
• 4 facts about the author that supports his ETHOS (his credibility as a source). For example, Ghobash is thoughtful about looking at culture- he speaks five languages, and aware of other cultures. 
• 4 facts about Ghobash's life. 
• 3 key terms presented in the writing and their definition.
• 3 quotes/examples of effective descriptive writing and identified technique. 

3. Read the first letter, "The Questions You Face" (1-5). Annotate your reading for descriptive writing techniques and aspects of culture.

Good annotations are a good mixture of WHAT (what is happening), HOW (how it is happening), and WHY (why is it happening).

Keep in mind the specific things that I am having you look for and put in your notes (above). They are a mixture of WHAT, HOW, and WHY. Use these to guide your reading and note taking.

LAST LITERARY TERMS QUIZ will be on Tuesday, October 15th. S-T plus a few more.
