--WED. 3/25, your ENTIRE INDIVIDUAL DAILY GRADE will be based upon TWO THINGS:
1) your class discussion of these two texts concerning your evaluation of and about each party's responses to poverty, hardship, etc.  
2) your effort to ANNOTATE/MARK THE TEXTS to help form your ideas for discussion (**I will be visually assessing your annotations as you discuss Wednesday!)

**I will open up the discussion of each text with a starting point, and then EVERYONE will be expected to contribute to the in-class discussion, each of you using one another's points/responses as a 'springboard' for more comments
 
 **COME TO CLASS WEDNESDAY 3/25 WITH:
--some valid "text-based" point/argument 
--comparison to previous texts or themes 
--analysis/viewpoint/clarification
--DO NOT JUST MERELY COME TO THIS DISCUSSION WITH A SUMMARY OF THESE TWO TEXTS!!!!!!!****************
