How to use this site

Each blog post is a separate bundle, and you will need to pick one of these bundles for your assignment. Remember that when you pick a bundle, you are obliged to use all the works included in that bundle.

Under these notes, you will find links to local libraries, online sources of texts, a Wikipedia search box, the assignment instructions, and other useful things as I think to add them.

If you find any errors within a bundle, please leave a comment on that post. Remember, finding a teacher error is worth five extra credit points, so please help me clean things up.

You can reach me at j e p s o n [dot] m r [at] g m a i l [dot] c o m if you have any questions about what you are supposed to do. But remember, this is something you will be doing all on your own and a major part of this assignment is just finding the works yourself. Talk to librarians, search the web, look, but I won't be telling you how or where to find things. You have the capacity and the tools; now it's up to you.

Have fun!

A note on buying

Part of this assignment's value is in learning how to use the resources available in libraries. These are skills you will find to be of great help in college.

However, if you decide to purchase some of your books (or films, etc) rather than find them all through libraries, you will find some advantages, such as being able to mark them up and not having to worry about needing to return them before being quite done with them.

If you do make the buying decision, I recommend calling around to the zillions of used-book stores in the East Bay before purchasing new. If you decide to buy online, I recommend starting at this website.

After you've finished with your books (films, etc), if you do not want to keep them, consider donating them to my in-class library to ease the search load for a future student.

Thanks.

(Note: You may find that some items must be purchased. If you are unwilling to purchase, be sure not to pick a bundle with such an item.)
