Due next Monday are two readings:
Kushner- a basic reading. Enjoy it.
Corbet and the Paris Commune- this one is challenging but exciting- Courbet is jailed for his activism! One strategy for getting into this reading is to:
1) define any unknown vocabulary (when you do this, please post the terms and their meanings as blog responses so that we can create some collective knowledge here, folks)
2) take it page by page- at the end of each page, ask yourself "What is the point the author is trying to make on this page?, What relationships are being drawn between people and events?" You'll probably need to read this one twice. Have a sandwich in between readings.
In class we'll talk about this timeline
Also, you can watch clips from a reality tv-style film about the Paris Commune
Quiz/Discussion
1) Were the Puritans Democratic?
2)In what instances were the settlers getting it right?

4) Considering what you've read so far, why do you think America has so many different Christian religions?
