Blog For Week #1 Readings...

After reading the selections, being quizzed upon them, & discussing opinions about the authors & history this week, choose one text or historical figure you related with the most or disliked the most.

Analyze it, including your personal commentary. Do not summarize the work(s). Do so in two succinct paragraphs (10 sentences minimum & maximum-again try to be to the point !).

Then please comment on one of your fellow classmate's responses.

Due Sat (by time listed on course calendar). Also, this is the link to the NPR article we read together in class tonight: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=15040888

Have a wonderful weekend, and see you Wednesday (in February)!
