Reading assignment for Tuesday

This weekend I want you to read pages 1-8, and 170-209 in David Starkey's book (our course book). Be ready to discuss them in class on Tuesday. Have a wonderful weekend.

The purpose of this blog is to provide an online space where all of our class materials will be available. 

On the blog itself, I will post:

• weekly agendas & homework
• announcements, reminders, offers of help
• the occasional Youtube video, meme, or link

On the right side of our blog you will find:

• my contact information
• our syllabus
• the discussion leader sign-up sheet
• other helpful documents and links

At the top of our blog, you will find:

• the 'Readings' section
• Includes select course readings (check syllabus)
• the 'Forms' section
• includes workshop forms for all four major writing assignments

Essentially, if you need information about this course, you need only visit this blog and it's likely you'll find your answers. So, browse around and get to know the blog well. 

I'm looking forward to a fun and meaningful semester!
