Assignment: Your second reading response assignment for LIN 150 will be over the K Dare Hill article.
For this assignment, you will write a 2-page paper in which you do two things:
A) Write a summary of the chapter in no more than two well-formed paragraphs. Keep in mind a few
things about writing a proper summary:
1) Summaries contain your own words BUT in the order of the author
2) Summaries do NOT include direct quotes
3) Summaries do not include opinions
B) Write a response that provides a general analysis of the chapter and, most importantly, addresses this
question: How does this chapter provide a good explanation of the nature of the relationship being
language and culture and what does that have to do with race? This part of the paper should be around
5-6 well-formed paragraphs in length. Be sure to make specific references to the piece.
PARAMETERS:
1) Paper should be at least two pages in length. I do not mind if students write more, but I will
definitely deduct points for not writing enough.
2) Please use a normal font and a normal font size (12).
3) Please use APA format in you citations and BE SURE TO CITE! 4) AS ALWAYS IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS!
