Due Friday 9/16:  reading/notes on pages 23-30 (you can skip p. 22, as it's one of those colored sections you're not required to read).

Due Tuesday 9/20:  typed one paragraph response to the following question:
In America today, which notion prevails most strongly:  the United States IS, or the United States ARE?  (Consider the implications that changing that one word has on the meaning of the statement. The first step to responding to this question is to determine that difference).

Requirements for the response:
- This is an opinion-based question, but needs to be substantiated with fact.  Cite from one reputable source in your response.  Remember to include both internal and source citations.
- Follow the rules for formal writing on this (and as a general default).
- Properly format in MLA throughout the response, as with all formal written work.  Please look up the requirements (on the Purdue OWL site, or another MLA resource site) if you're not sure what they are.
-Due in hard copy (printed) at the start of class on Tuesday.  (Worth 10 points, or 2 homework grades).
