Week of September 29th

Note - You will undoubtedly notice that the readings for this week are a little long. Please do your best to get through them, but know that it is fine to skim these pages this week. I think you will be able to move through a little faster because we already had presentations on some of the major events last week. Try to build a solid understanding of the terms listed below each reading so you can fully identify them, rather than taking extensive notes on everything in the text.
