Nifty New Feature in Google Docs – Sidebar Research

yisroel — Wed, 16 May 2012 23:01:57 +0000

Google docs have been a useful tool for educators and collaborators world over. Its simple word processing and spreadsheet platform is familiar and easy to use, instantly saves your work, gives you access to your docs from any internet-capable device, and lets you collaborate simultaneously with contributors from the comfort of their own home. The latest feature rolled out by Google is the sidebar research tool that lets you search the internet on any topic / keyword about which you are writing. Simply select and right-click the words that you’d like to research and the search results will appear instantly on the right of your document without the need to go from tab to tab. It also has a built in linking ability and allows to instantly create footnotes should you like to cite a specific webpage. And for images, you can drag the image you’d like straight into your document. CTRL + ALT + R is another way to the research tool.

As many high school and college students are hard at work on their end of the year research papers, this nifty tool will offer an added convenience.

Mr. Feldstein Literature | Essay

yisroel — Sun, 13 May 2012 15:35:23 +0000

Due Monday: only a rough draft of your essay – collections of ideas, main points and elements from the story that you will use to support your analysis.

The Topic: Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde – a study of Good and Evil

Your essay should discuss how the author of the novella portrays the two natures within humans. Here some questions to consider: What was Dr. Jekyll’s intent? Was he successful? Does the story point to a solution to the good/evil nature in humans? How is Jekyll and Hyde phenomenon a symbol for all humanity? (You may use examples from your experience where someone has displayed seemingly opposite natures.) Does the split of Jekyll’s two elements into two distinct personas absolve him from the crimes committed by Hyde? Why yes or why not? What is Mr. Utterson’s role within this story? Is his tolerance helpful or destructive?

Here’s an example of a good high-school level analytic essay on this story. Take a look at the essay’s structure, its cohesiveness, and the way it uses elements of the story and adds to these the writer’s own interpretations.

Analytic Esaay

The final form of your essay also should not read like an answer to the above questions, but rather offer your own observations and interpretations on the novella in an essay form.
