Due Sunday, October 22nd, by midnight. Word count, at least 300 words. You may include a brief quotation, but be sure this is followed by your interpretation of the text, as indicated in the instructions below and include the proper citation (either MLA or APA). Late assignments will be accepted for partial credit if they are submitted no later than one week after the original deadline.

1. Read Kyla Wazana Tompkins’s handout, “some notes on how to ask a good question about theory that will provoke conversation and further discussion from your colleagues.”

2. Write a brief summary of a passage from Part One, Two, or Three of Foucault’s History of Sexuality. As Tompkins suggests, imagine yourself as a teacher by trying to organize the information that Foucault introduces.

3. Finally, write at least two questions about the passage. Let Tompkin’s worksheet guide your approach and “imagine how your own questions impact or reach other people’s ears and eyes. Scaffold your question with the information people need to answer it; ground your question deeper into the text itself.”
