Be prepared to discuss these questions in class on Monday, May 7, 2012. Remember to support your answers -- even the World Connection questions -- with evidence from the book.
If you missed the seminar, submit well-thought out written responses to two questions (100%; one question=80%). You may NOT answer a close-ended question.
If you were in class and did not respond twice, use the back of your remaining half-sheets ("buns") to respond to the questions. If you respond to a question discussed in class, your response must refer to the text and add to the conversation we had. (+20 points for the first, +10 points for the second)
