Here are the links you can chose from to write your two-page, double-spaced, paper that will give you credit for nex week’s (February 9,2015) class. Remember, I am interested in your opinion on the aritcle you selected and what you learned. You don’t have to have sources, but you do have to identify the article you selected. I want to know how you feel about the article and why. You need to have two double-space pages so you need to give your paper some thought. Do you agree with the what the story is about or disagree and why? What would you write if you took the opposite side on the same article.
