When you go to the sample assignment home page we've created for each author, you will find three different kinds of questions:
Questions for Making Connections within the Reading: these are brief questions we've written to help improve your students' understanding of the readings; Questions for Writing: these are sample assignments that focus on a single reading; Questions for Making Connections Between Readings: these are sample assignments that ask the students to make connections between two or more readings. You will also find links from each author's sample assignment home page to additional examples of assignments for making connections between the readings. These are examples of the kind of extended assignments teachers of The New Humanities Reader have handed out in their classes. If you'd like to have your assignments considered for publication on this site, please send them on as an attachment (preferably in HTML) to newhumanitiesreader@gmail.com Ahmed, Leila.
