Good Morning to all of you!

BOOK REVIEW

Many of you are well on your way to either finishing your revisions for the final draft of the book review which is due on Monday(or working on your lecture summaries). Remember to try to get your reviews printed before coming to class(on time hopefullly). We will talk about the presentations of your book and work out a schedule on Monday.

LECTURE on Gender Differences Unit

Blog your summaries of the lecture(2-3 paragraphs) and give your opinions or reactions on the topic. Remember to also look at some of your classmates' summaries and opinions and comment on them.

RESEARCH PROJECT

In order to define your topic a little more try looking for it in an encyclopedia(you could try using the on line encylopedia Wikepedia...or google it...just to get more ideas about your topic; this is not to use as one of your sources for the paper).

We will be going to the library mid morning on Monday to learn how to access the data banks. It is very important that you not miss this.

Have a good weekend.
