Welcome! Bienvenidos! Bienvenue!

All,

I am so excited to embark on this exciting new project with you! As we have discussed in class, the assignments will be turned in through this blog. If you have a problem doing so, please talk with me directly.

Remember that the homework due for the next class is to brainstorm an issue you care about and a type of project you may want to do, and then find at least 5 sources related to your topic and cite them using MLA (as we worked on in Global Classrooms).

I am already inspired by your amazing ideas from the last class session, and I look forward to talking again after the puente!

Madison
