Guidelines
1. Write an analysis of your assigned section.  Your analysis should include the following:
        - Summary 
                    - What does Anne have to say in this section?
        - Analysis
                    - Why is this section of Anne's Diary significant?
                    - What can it tell us about life in occupied Amsterdam?
                    - What can it tell us about the experience of those Jews 
			who went into hiding during WWII?
         - Discussion Question
                - Provide a question about this section that you think will facilitate discussion 
                among your fellow students.

2. Your analysis should be typed, double-spaced and about 2-3 pages.

3. Present your analysis to the class. Feel free to either read your analysis, 
or simply talk about your assigned section.  Facilitate discussion of the 
section with your discussion question.  Answer any questions that your 
fellow students might have (or that I might have).

4. Grading. Your analysis/presentation will be graded with the following rubric:
  Summary               40 points
  Analysis                 40 points
  Presentation           20 points
  TOTAL                 100 points

5. No extensions will be given. The class discussion depends on you being 
present with a finished analysis on the day that it is due. If you are not 
present or do not have your analysis, you will receive a zero. (If you have 
a documented, verifiable emergency that prevents you from attending the 
discussion, you may email your analysis to me for partial credit. If I do not 
receive the email by class time on the day of the discussion, you will receive 
a zero.)  

6. Wrong topic = ZERO!  Failure to write your analysis on the specific section 
of the document assigned to you will result in a failing grade (of the zero variety).  
That is, you can't simply choose to write on a section that you like better than 
your assigned section.

7. Plagiarism will not be tolerated. If you plagiarize, you will be referred to the 
Dean of Arts and Sciences for disciplinary action. Such action will likely include 
failing the course. You are plagiarizing someone's work (book, journal, newspaper, 
magazine, website, etc.) when you take their work and put it into your own work 
(either paraphrased or word-for-word) without citing it (i.e., telling me where you 
got it). The rule of thumb for verbatim usage of someone's work is the following: 
if you are taking four or more words in a row, you must enclose them in quotation 
marks AND provide a citation.
