This should take you about a half hour. When finished, do a blog post about what you learned and what you're thinking about this topic. You should reference specifics from each of your articles in your post. Then, look at your group's posts (see below) and comment on their work. Return to the comments to yours and respond. (NOTE, this does NOT count as your weekly post although feel free to continue your commentary for your topic this week)
• For homework (by your next class period), add an entry to your portfolio that responds to the following question: What (if anything) should be done to reduce or eliminate hazing at universities? Make sure that you use specifics from your articles and discussions in your response.
