Week Ten Reading and Assignments Are Posted

I'm back into the my regular schedule, and the oral surgeon has told me I'm healing up well.  I am a day late getting the assignments out, so you get a "get out of being a day late" card to cash in when you need it. As I said in the syllabus, life happens to professors too, but when it happens to me, you get extra understanding and lenience for your own times when life happens.   

I think you'll find the reading, blog post, and discussion this week interesting and thought provoking.  Often, the discussion topic this week, telling your story of the good fight--a la the reading you've done about Abolitionism--proves to be a student favorite every semester.  I've even had students change the course of their lives and their careers based on reading and writing about John Brown and Civil Disobedience.  [Don't worry.  This is the rare exception and far from the rule.]  John Brown's story is another with roots in what was then Virginia, that is, Harper's Ferry. 

The blog post/essay this week is tricky, so make sure to read it early and provide plenty of time to write it.

As always, write with questions.
