Post a link to your favorite sad song here. (I may have to approve your comment, so if it doesn’t show up right away, don’t worry.)

Do you think Qasim made an effective argument in “Avoiding Misconceptions…”? If so, what do you think the author did particularly well? If not, what could the author have done better? Your response should be three to seven sentences long.

Please post a link to the sources that you plan on using here. You do not have to write the sources out in the MLA “Works Cited” format. If you found the sources via the Newman Library, don’t share a link. For those sources, please just provide the title of the source, the type of source (e.g., newspaper article), and the media outlet/journal that produced the source (e.g., The New York Times). Please be sure to include your primary sources, as well.

What topic will you research for your final paper? What guiding questions have you come up with thus far?

BONUS:  Watch both the TEDx Talk by Marie-Jeanne Ndimbira and the CNN special on her. Post at least one question that you have for her, as she will be a guest in our class on Thursday, 11/11.
