Directions: List one or two possible essays that were interesting enough to generate questions about their meaning or the events surrounding the creation of the text. List three questions that you have about the essay(s). Remember, if you choose the "Letter from a Birmingham Jail," and you also choose to use the original letter from the eight clergymen in your research paper, you will still need two additional sources to support the potential answers to your questions. You will also need to read and inquire into the full letter under Unit VI, rather than using the truncated Unit III essay. Post due before class on Wednesday, April 9th.
Reply: No reply necessary, but read the questions of your fellow classmates if you find yourself at a loss for questions to ask the text(s) you chose.
