1. In our readings and class discussions, we have focused on the early history of Golden Gate Park as well as the crucial role of William Hammond Hall. For your second paper, I want you to write, in no more than three double-spaced pages, about any aspect of Hall.
2. Keep in mind that everything we do in this class is cumulative which means by now I expect you to know how to introduce your topic effectively and how to summarize your sources.
3. In this paper, you are required to use at least two sources: Raymond H. Clary's Making of Golden Gate Park: The Early Years: 1865-1906; and Gray Brechin's Imperial San Francisco: Urban Power, Earthly Ruin.
4. Although I expect a fascinating, well-written, and well-edited essay about Hall, what I am most interested in is your ability to select and integrate quotations effectively. Please consider re-reading Gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein's chapter, "'As He Himself Puts It': The Art of Quoting," and definitely revisit your notes on Tuesday's class discussion of "quotation sandwiches."
5. Edit carefully. If I find three or more errors - spelling, grammar - I will stop reading your paper, return it to you, and ask you to re-edit and re-submit.
6. Sometime between now and Thursday, February 24, tweet the topic of your paper. Be sure to include the #rhet195 hashtag in your tweet.
7. Paper 2 is due in class on Thursday, February 24. No late work accepted.
