Please note: in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we are not meeting on Monday, January 19th.
I have uploaded the reading assignment for Wednesday, January 21st to the Content section of D2L (under the Reading Materials subheading) for those of you who do not have the textbook yet. Please read George Orwell's essay, "Shooting an Elephant," and write a response, following the guidelines on the Reading Response Assignment Sheet (also located in the Content section, under the Assignment Sheets subheading). I have included a student example with its corresponding reading in the Content section (under Examples), as well. Please remember to submit the Reading Response to the D2L dropbox prior to the start of class, and be prepared to discuss the essay on Wednesday.
Here are the links to the articles I referenced in class last night, for those of you who are interested in the topics of happiness and gender roles/expectations in today's society:
"Meaning is Healthier than Happiness"
"Why Women Still Can't Have It All"
