Your assignment this week is to read the Division/Classification chapter in the folder below, listen to the lectures, then write a Division/Classification essay. You can write about whatever topic you wish. Since we have been working on researching and sourcing, I want you to include at least TWO SOURCES from the Lamar PA Library (online OR physical). This means that you will have to include a Works Cited Page at the end of your essay. There is a Works Cited Page lecture below. You can consider this another step in writing your mini-research paper. If you don’t any idea as to what to write about, below are a few topics you can choose from. If you do know what you want to write about, however, then feel free to do so. You will find your essay submission link at the bottom of the page below the lectures and scans.
