- In the question about the Gothic Literature genre, I quoted the definition from a website at a college in Tennessee. More importantly, I provided a link to the source where I got the information. When you're writing your essays next year, you may find information online that you want to incorporate into your writing. If you quote it without citing your source, that's plagiarism and that's bad. If you provide the source, on the other hand, that's RESEARCH! -- and that's awesome.
As you're answering the questions, if you want to support your claims with information from a reputable source, include the link. - For the Irony question for "Tell-Tale Heart" I incorporated a couple relevant phrases from the story into my question. You may want to embed relevant quotes into your responses, too. Follow the example I provided; if you want to change a word/phrase like I did, put in it square brackets -- [] -- just make sure what you write has the same intent as what Poe wrote.
And thing #3
- Ms. Fariñas is providing the questions for the second half of the summer assignment. Because she'll be traveling off and on over the next several weeks, she's begun posting the questions now. If you'll be away from your computer (or the library's computer, or a friend's computer) for an extended period of time, you may want to read the stories and respond to the questions before you go.
Enjoy!
