Assignment 9: Carebears?

What is the issue you care about most in this world?  It keeps you up at night.  It gets you (ง’̀-‘́)ง when someone this passion.  This should be closely connected to the topic of your annotated bibliography which obviously makes this a preview of your speech in December.  This topic does not have to be profound but you should care so much about this subject that you could speak intensely on this matter without notes.

Assignment 14: Flying Turkeys

The stock image of Thanksgiving involves a lot of people around a nicely decorated table with a large turkey and a ridiculous amount of extra food. This image doesn't always depict the reality of the holiday though. What does your Thanksgiving look like? Do you enjoy the holiday? What is your strangest or most wonderful memory of the holiday? OR What are some of your family traditions in general?  Holiday or otherwise. OR What is your best holiday story? Inspirational, humorous, tragic (but you can laugh about it now).
