Final reminder about videos. We hope that these assist you and either reinforce the content from the text OR add new ideas to reflect upon. These are intended to add to the textbook as another way to learn the material NOT to replace (please consider this bit of advice as you encounter any upcoming videos in the classroom).

Choose one of the topics for your main post. Respond to at least one student who answered a different question from you. The answers should come from your textbook, the book of primary source documents, the assigned website, the lecture, videos, and the research you conducted.
