Today in class we work shopped your essays and I gave you personalized homework assignments based on your midterms. We will not meet in person on Monday, November 7th, but please have the Malcolm X essay done by the time we meet on Monday, November 14th. At this point in the semester you need to study as much as possible. Please use the CLASS HANDOUTS section of this blog to your advantage.
