Public Library Resources

So

For those of you who are in Marti's class 4th Hour you already know some of this

Some of you will get this for the first time.

If you go to the public library's website, www.youranswerplace.org and click on the button that says "Electronic Resources" you can access a huge number of resources to get a secondary source for your paper.

You do have to have a library card, however.

If you click on the link that says "literature" and go down to "literature resource center" and click the blue button on the right, you will get to, in my opinion, the best database for finding literary criticism.

Good luck!

It's free! It's easy! It's chocked full 'o facts. Click on the link for sources for your essay. Click on Ebsco Host. Check the appropriate sources that you want to search. Search for Grapes of Wrath Book Review. Watch with amazement as a million or so articles appear. If one sounds useful, go to the bottom of the page and click on full text. Try searching for some other topics. It's free! It's amazing! Those articles can make you sound really, really smart. Try it. You'll like it. (If you are using an off site computer, the user is "francis"; the password is "howell"------how easy is that?)

Your revised essay is due on Tuesday. On Monday, you will have time to ask specific questions about the work you are revising, so you should come to class prepared with questions. Remember that your class is large, so you will have only a few minutes with me. Have your questions ready. B

I was terribly disappointed to learn that many of you were not keeping up with the reading. I trusted you to WANT to learn. I was devastated at the results of the last quiz, so I am going to give you another. You have a chance for redemption, and I have a chance at recovery. For those of you who are reading this, know that on the twenty first you will have a "surprise" quiz on The Grapes of Wrath.
