from Polson High School <a href="http://www.flatheadreservation.org/index.php/phs"> Michael L. Umphrey website</a> <h2 class="title">Test over “Meat for God” and other readings</h2> By Michael L Umphrey I will grade your writing (quality of your sentences and of your thought) and not just whether your answer is correct. <blockquote>1. In “Meat for God” why do you think McNickle chose a protagonist who was not Indian? (How is the story different than it would be if the old man had been an Indian?) 2. What is the most interesting thing you learned through the 4 readings? Be specific and explain yourself. You can’t answer this question well in less that 4 or 5 sentences. 3. List 5 questions you have about Polson’s or the Reservation’s past--things you wonder about or would like to find out more about.</blockquote> Due at the end of the period, unless you were absent Thursday, in which case this is due at the beginning of class on Tuesday. Late papers not accepted. Due tomorrow: <blockquote>Report on the 4 readings: Write a research report giving your opinion about one aspect of life here before 1910 OR one insight in DArcy McNickle as a writer. Provide evidence for your viewpoint by quoting from at least three of the documents weҒve used in class: Hard Riding,Ӕ Flathead Railroad Treaty, 1882,Ӕ Clairmont v. U. S. (Supreme Court), and Meat for God.Ӕ You may also quote from any documents you located doing family history research. The report should be at least two paragraphs long, and each paragraph should be well-developed, unified, and coherent. 1. Start by writing down 2 quotes from each reading that seem in some way connected. 2. After you have all the quotes, read through them and figure out a way to explain the connection you see. Work this out in a first draft. 3. Revise your first draft, making it unified and coherent. </blockquote> <a href="http://www.flatheadreservation.org/index.php/phs/test_over_meat_for_god1/">Test over “Meat for God”</a> sent from Michael L.
