Lexus and the Olive Tree (LatOT)

1. Find the thesis and label it (HINT: It’s not in the first paragraph, or even the first page!).
2. Highlight or underline main ideas
3. Circle vocab words and write their definitions in the margins.  No need to do this for the ones on this LatOT Vocab Guide.
4. Annotate:  At least 18 substantive annotations.  This works out to 2 per page (in addition to vocab, etc.)  These can be questions, connections, arguments with the author, deep thoughts/musings, or extensions and applications of his ideas.  NO EMOTIONAL REACTIONS!

Homework:  Seminar Reflection (see DP post from 1/7 for specific instructions).  Must be typed and proofread!  Email to Lori before class on Monday.
