Write Now Homework Exercise about Douglass & O’Connell

There are 10 questions, presented in reading order. In other words: the questions chronologically track the single PDF that contains the assigned reading, immediatist anti-slavery polemics by Frederick Douglass, created in 1845, and Daniel O’Connell, created in 1843 (see the top of this webpage for the PDF). When attempting the questions, it’s advisable NOT to begin with Folio but instead to: (1) download a PDF containing the 10 Write Now questions as a single document (also available via the green bar below); and then (2) answer each question-set in a Google or Microsoft Word document, which you should save as you proceed. That way, you’ll always have proof that you completed the exercise, even if Folio goes down or otherwise doesn’t cooperate. When you have finished the entire Write Now exercise, you can simply paste the answers into the designated section on the course Folio page, making sure to submit your work before the firm deadline: 11:59 PM (Eastern) on We., Jun. 29, 2022. The ability to submit ceases at that time, and effort not received before the deadline earns a grade of zero. Another way of saying the above: late submission isn’t possible. Remember, please, that your grade depends not just on correct responses but also: complete sentences; good grammar; accurate spelling; and clear expression.
