instructions written by the teacher: “A 3 to 4 page essay focusing on a response to an istorical, social, or cultural aspect raised in one or more of the assigned readings from the first half of the semester. Response must reference a minimum of two sources outside of the texts.” I will provide some of the articles given to me by the teacher, so you can choose which one works best for you.
