Upworthy and Beyond

Today in class your tasks are twofold:
1) Prepare for class tomorrow-Rather than start a new unit, we'll take the opportunity on the day before the Thanksgiving break to open up for some discussion about current events; either stories that are prevalent in the news or perhaps, some that should be. Thus, your task for tomorrow is to come prepared with two items to discuss. One should be a story from a main stream news source or blog about something important going on the world. For the second story, you should explore this site: upworthy.com (scroll down to see the most shared and newer items and also notice the topic bar at the top of the page) and identify a story or video that you want to share and discuss to (as the site's mission statement says) draw attention to a story that matters. When you find something worthy to share, please post a link to it in the comments to this post.

2) After completing #1, you may have any remaining time to revise or edit your abortion paper.
