Homework Schedule: (typed, double-spaced, and size 12 font)

Please focus on writing "in your own words" where you can. Don't copy sentences directly from the book. In the past, I have been flexible, but now I have to hold you to a higher standard.

Try to comprehend and "paraphrase" in your own words.

Here is an example of how I quoted the book:

CONFUCIUS
He was a very smart man who studied a great deal. "Confucius led a scholarly life, studying history, music, and moral character." The hard work paid off and made him one of China's most influential people.
--I can copy it if I put it in "quotations".
