Based on the number you receive in class today, you will read the corresponding essays below.  You must be signed in to google with your school account to access the readings.  You should print out both essays and then make sure that you are reading actively as you go-identifying and annotating key, important quotations.  Then, when you are finished, write a thoughtful and thorough journal response to both essays.  Additionally, for tomorrow, please print out this essay by Howard Zinn and bring it to class as well.
