Class Agenda 11-5: The Return from Sandy

1. Discussion of first essay assignment and recent events. What would you add? What might you add? How does this help us think through the second essay assignment and Zeitoun?

2. Catch up: Cuomo on climate change.

3. FOX News on climate change (Young Turks)

4. How would we cite these sources? (Take out worksheet from 2-3 weeks ago).

5. Discussion of midterm format. Students will receive the topics. What parts of the text should be studied? Midterm is open note and open book, but not "open phone."

6. Researching for the second assignment (discuss new due date). How do we cite sources we find? Let's try one as a class and one on our own.

Class research: the lower 9th ward.

7. Find your own source: skim source, find information you need, pull out a direct quote, package the quote in a paragraph sandwich, and cite quote correctly. Then add source correctly at the end (as if it were in the bibliography).
