Hums Feb 21st

So we started exploring the MLA citation style in preparation for the big research position paper that we'll be starting next week.  Most of you should have a list of 3 Renaissance figures you are interested in exploring a bit further before picking one to serve as the subject of you paper but if you don't, make sure you have them picked out for Monday.

We're nearing the end of Animal Farm.  It's been a heck of a ride so far.  We've had a lot of really good discussions about the rise of totalitarianism and how a society can let itself fall into that sort of trap.  We should be wrapping it up next week.

Last thing I wanted to touch on is an article I found that expands on the current events discussion we were having around the railroad blockades that have paralyzed shipping across the country.  It is an interview with one of the Wet'suwet'en matriarchs who is opposed to the protests.  I think it does a good job of underscoring just how complicated the issue is and why it has been so challenging to find a solution.

Saturday and Sunday are the strongest days.
Because Monday to Friday are week days.

Have a great weekend!
