Readings

For each text below, you'll need to write a short resonse and post it to your site. With each post, you might consider including the date of your writing, and a link to the text itself.

You can write anything you like, but it should be intelligble to someone who hasn't read the source material, and it must include at least:

  • NEW: something in the text that was new to you.
  • RIGHT: something in the text that you agreed with.
  • WRONG: something in the text that you disagreed with.

This shouldn't take you more than say, 30 minutes to write and post something.
