Reminder About Essay #1

Remember that, since I failed to remember to talk in class about the first essay until today, that rather than being due on Monday, it will instead be due on Wednesday, September 10.
  • The essay must be at least two typed pages. 
  •  It does not require a large amount of research and is meant as a means of expressing your own ideas, opinions, revelations, confusions, etc. about anything you have read in the book or heard during lecture from the Introduction and Chapters 1 & 2.
  • You may cite the book and lectures, but there must be at least one outside source. 
    •  When I say mention "citing sources", I don't mean that you must have formal citations with footnotes and a bibliography.  
    • If you just mention the source in the text of your essay, that is good enough for me.  
    • For example: "I found out while reading an article on www.oneonta.edu/ that Sofonisba Anguissola's father 'Amilcare saw learning to paint was part of the new Humanist education for a woman of high social standing.'"
