Tues. Sept. 24 Writing Critiques

Today, you were given the following questions to answer and then hand in (at the start of class). These questions were in reference to the reading you were to complete for today's class. They were then handed in (a comprehend a respond activity).

1.      In three sentences, summarize the excerpt.

2.      In a paragraph, explain how the excerpt is relevant to our understanding of immigration.

I then went over how to write a relevant critique of a text, which you will have to do for the next three or four readings (in regard to immigration). This is to prepare you for your major assignment.

Finally, I handed out a reading entitled "The Sikhs in Canada" and a critique booklet containing room for four entries. You are to have this article read and critiqued for tomorrow.
