1. "Finding the Name": Write an excellent paragraph on the question you were given. You can write too much: but you can also write too little. You need to be thorough, that is explain with references, but you do not have to write a two page paragraph.  Please write single-spaced, and approximately 2/3rds of a page, or a bit more.

Please check your binders again, and at home for any other handouts. I have not got everything back from some of you.
