Current+Events+Articles

Each Friday, we will read a current events article dealing with some of the themes we are discussing within the literature. You will read the appropriate article, and then respond to the prompts on the Discussion Forum for that article. You will be responsible for posting at least two of your own responses to the article and responding to the responses of at least one other classmate.
