1. Summarize paragraph 2 of the Russell essay, the first body paragraph (about Mrs. Hale representing Clotho the Spinner), in your own words, using no direct quotes from the Russell essay, but telling me in your own words what you think are the most important things the paragraph says. Your paragraph is to be no more than 100 words long. I am forcing you to take the most important information in the paragraph and explain it to me clearly in fewer words than Russell uses–that is what “summarize” means.
2. Just for practice, put an in-text citation (Russell 88) each time you talk about some information from the Russell essay. Whenever you use information from a source, you must credit the information to that source–in this case Russell. Remember, you don’t have to put an in-text citation after every sentence of information that comes from the source–just be sure it is clear after every sentence where the information came from. And as always, if you are not sure whether you need a citation or not, put a citation. There is no penalty for putting unnecessary citations, but not putting a needed citation can be a severe error.
