Assignment for the week. Please email essay to me at elkrugamigos@earthlink.net:
If you chose the April 17 deadline, turn in the final paper. (And please understand that you will continue to have short assignments as the semester ends.) If you chose the May 8 deadline for the final, you need to produce two pages of work towards your paper. This can be anything – research notes, an outline, a bibliography – but it is absolutely due next week. Do not print the essay, email it directly to me.
