Don&#8217;t settle for the article at the top of the search results. Browse through the results and find an article that addresses an angle of <em>Fun Home<\/em> that interests you. Be sure your article is a peer-reviewed scholarly article, and not a book review or news story.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have selected your article, cite it MLA-style at the top of your warm-up. For example (using one of the articles from our syllabus):<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Eveleth, K.

This involves taking some element of<em> Fun Home<\/em> about which there is a differing opinion (though not necessarily mutually exclusive differences) in the various articles. Then, in no more than 250 words present an abbreviated version of a conversation about that aspect of <em>Fun Home<\/em>, with the various article authors in dialog with each other.<\/p>\n<p>This assignment rehearses the &#8220;They Say&#8221; angle of the <em>They Say \/ I Say <\/em>guide, so be sure to consult that book. Remember to use signal phrases to introduce quotes, to paraphrase, and to alternate between quoting smaller phrases and longer sentences. Note that there is no &#8220;I Say&#8221; part of this assignment. Your intellectual work comes from figuring out how to weave these three (at a minimum) voices together, rather from introducing your own critical perspective.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll be evaluated on how well you integrate the different voices in technical, stylistic, and scholarly terms. Be sure to cite your sources properly using the MLA style. Also include a properly formatted Works Cited.<\/p>\n<p>Warm-Up #4 is due via Google Docs by the start of class on Tuesday, April 19.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Conversation about Fun Home This warm-up challenges you to think about\u2014and synthesize\u2014the scholarly conversation surrounding Fun Home.
