Do the reading/handout on "The Story of Islam." Answer the questions at the end and draw the picture as assigned.

Then, read the Amnesty case and study it carefully. Be prepared to answer: who's in trouble? Whom do we write to? What's the case about? You can access the case by going to:

Assignment due Friday:

Option A

Watch the last presidential debate at 9pm on any of the major networks tonight. It is optional because it is very late. You should be able to fill in the chart using the debate as a source. Anything you cannot get can be gleaned from the websites.

Option B

Use the candidates’ websites to glean this information.

GOAL:

WE WILL BE WATCHING A COUPLE OF FILMS AND ENGAGING IN SOME DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE ELECTIONS (in an unusual format). This work will be essential for you to properly engage in this discussion. You will not be able to discuss properly unless you have information about both candidates.
