Task: At the beginning of class, you will have a final opportunity to ask any questions about chapter 1 before the reading quiz. Although you'll be allowed to use your notes for this quiz, your time is limited to 20 minutes. When you've finished the quiz, please turn it in at the back of the room and pick up "What is Culture?" and "One Hundred Percent American." Begin reading these articles while you wait for your classmates to finish.
After everyone finishes the quiz, I'll explain how to prepare for Friday's current events activity and we'll begin taking notes on culture.
