Hi, folks.  We have a routine in Humanities that can get disrupted sometimes.  We are going to get back on that routine this week.

• Monday: LoNGview & Project Proposals & Blog Quality
• Tuesday: Roots Activity & Project/Closing Argument Work & Exit Tickets
• Wednesday: LoNGview & Project/Closing Argument Work & No Red Ink & Exit Tickets
• Thursday: Roots 6 Quiz & Product Due & Closing Argument Workshop
• Friday: No Red Ink & Closing Arguments DUE & Blogs Due

Today, we will start with a LoNGview reading that ties into your work with Of Mice & Men and poverty.

"The New Face of Homelessness"  and also here.

From there you will have to complete a project proposal form for your photo essay or StoryCorps IN CLASS.  It can be found in your inbox. This is due today, in class.

I posted a tutorial to help you with your blogging.
