For Thurs/Fri, I want you to annotate the passage taken from chapter 6 that you have been given. As you are annotating, look for:

• connections to what you have learned in US History
• Twain’s philosophical position based on Pap’s words
• example of satire-elements of humor and for what purpose?
• what aspect of the 1800 society is represented through Pap?

When finished, turn it over and write a 250 word response to the selection and compose ONE multiple choice question about the passage, complete with 3 wrong answers and 1 right, circled.

Homework for Wed/Thurs-find 3 things:
1.    map of Mississippi River
2.    1 fact about the Mississippi
3.    1 fact about Mark Twain
Format information as an annotated bibliography-properly formatted with sources documented and a short paragraph describing the information you got from that source. You will need to include a copy of the map you found and remember, cite all 3 sources.

Use your annotated bibliography from the project for a reminder of formatting, or feel free to come before or after school on Tuesday for support.
