Please write a brief response to each of the questions below. You may skip over one or two if you don’t have a good answer to provide, and please feel free to explain anything you’d like me to know in advance.

Normally, you’d need to use MLA formatting on a .PDF or .DOC attachment for assignments over 250 words (one page). However, for this assignment, you may use the blank area below.

You may write in essay format or by answering the questions by number.

Finally, remember that all writing in the course must use proper capitalization, grammar, spelling, etc. I recommend checking your work at Grammarly.com or by installing its free extension in your browser. Although automated checks won’t catch everything, they can be a big help! Every professional writer I know relies on Grammarly.
