“Contrast the condition into which all
these friendly Indians are suddenly plunged now, with their condition only
two years previous: martial law now in force on all their reservations;
themselves in danger of starvation, and constantly exposed to the influence
of emissaries from their friends and relations, urging them to join in
fighting this treacherous government that had kept faith with nobody--neither
with friend nor with foe.”1 |

Only two years later, all friendly Sioux
were suddenly plunged into new conditions, including starvation, martial law
on all their reservations, and constant urging by their friends and relations
to join in warfare against a treacherous government that had kept faith with
neither friend nor foe. |

According to Jackson, the Sioux were now
on the verge of starvation. Martial law was now in force on all their
reservations. Friends and relatives urged them to join in the fighting
against the Federal Government--a "treacherous government that had kept
faith with neither friend nor foe.”1 |

According to Jackson, the Sioux were now
suffering starvation, martial law and gratuitous advice. Hunger and military
oppression made more provocative and strident advice of their historical
allies that the Sioux add their might to war against the Federal government--a "treacherous government
that had kept faith with nobody--neither with
friend nor with foe.”1 |

The 2 AM desperation + Internet
ease of access is tempting! |
|
|
|
Don’t give open ended
assignments |
|
Always related to material in
course |
|
If the assignment is “open,”
students should follow defined steps |
|
Reduces late night desperation |
|
Gives instructor more sense of
know what is appropriate |
|
|
|
Avoid assigning papers on
classic topics |
|
Compare three texts, or compare
specific parts of a text |
|
Save classic text questions for
an exam |
|
|
|
Do I have to come up with good
questions each year? Discipline-based
question pools may help, but all will eventually be exposed |
|
|
|
Require drafts and teach
students how to revise their writing |
|
|
|
An example: unwriting a digital
text into handwritten draft since a draft was required |
