The readings found below are in alphabetical order according to the author's last name.  The citation information is in MLA format (except for the bolding which is mine).  The formatting will make it easier if you need to cite these sources.   Please note, the readings may change throughout the semester.  I will inform you during class if new readings have been added to this site.

Please make sure you download and print the articles, and bring the articles to class.  Because of possible unforseeable problems, I recommend that you download these files well in advance so you will have plenty of time to troubleshoot if necessary.
