- Handout with instructions for HW 28, 29, 30 and 31 (covers all of next week). Quick discussion of what it means to have a complex and arguable claim/thesis statement in your semester-long project.
- Symposium session signup sheet--our regular sessions of class next week, 11/6 and 11/8, will be replaced by attendance at the Keene State College Citizenship Symposium . Students will tell me in advance which sessions they're going to, and then write blog posts about each one. Two are required, a third may be used as extra attendance credit. The symposium will tie in nicely with our work with Baghdad Burning, blogging, and the empowerment of marginalized groups.
- Discussion of first readings in Baghdad Burning. Students share some of their thoughts from HW 25.
- Watch videos about two central characters in our reading, Paul Bremer and Ahmed Chalabi.

Hi Amy: In addition to attending, follow the HW 30 directions to describe each session you attend. You can either write 3 separate posts or 1 post. Complete them within 48 hours after you attend your last session at the symposium.
I'll copy the directions below.
HW 30: You�re the Citizen Journalist
You�re the citizen-journalist. Report on the two or three sessions of the Citizenship Symposium. For each session that you attended, write a 150-400 word description of the session.
� Give the names of the speakers and anything that�s important for your reader to know about them
� Give the title of the session
� Describe the talk or event overall, including the main topic
� Say the most interesting thing you learned at the session
� Include at least one sentence with concrete description and vivid detail
� Include at least one quote
� Your audience for your blog includes people who don�t know what the symposium is and didn�t attend the sessions you did, so you�ll need to mention that it was part of the Keene State College Citizenship Symposium.
