Hemingway’s “The Revolutionist” is a very short story–under 400 words–where not much seems to happen.  However, with some basic research into the context of and references in the story, it becomes much richer, so your first online assignment for class will ask you to do some research.

We will use Slack as our primary means of communication for class, and when you accept the Slack invitation, I will tag you in a post in #revolutionist, where you will find your assigned topic and the link for posting responses for the annotation assignment.  

For this assignment, each of you will quickly research an assigned topic and add your response to the question that you were assigned to a copy of the story. 

The Research: 

• Wikipedia is fine as a source for this assignment, but may not be the best source for all topics, so I suggest a general Google search.  
• Look at a few  sources and think a bit about them. 

The Collaborative Annotation: 

As everyone has editing access to the copy of the story, it is essential that you log into Gmail/Google Drive before you add to the document (this links the edits to your account and date/time stamps all changes).  

• Click the link in  Slack, which will take you to a Google Doc; you must go through the link to have the needed access. 
• Find the first mention of your topic in the text of the story and add a comment. 

Some terms may have more than one comment; that’s fine, it just means that there were various related topics assigned.

• Copy-paste your question and briefly respond to the question being sure that you state what the topic is (even if it is the same word that you linked to) and copy and paste the URLs for your sources.  I posted the first comment, on the author and the collection that the story was published in.
• Those of you researching art/artists should also include a link to a webpage that includes relevant images.
