Here’s the plan for our last four classes.<\/p>\n

Mon 4\/23 – 9\/11 and Post<\/strong>. Reading: HOT 369-395 and MO 296-309. <\/p>\n

Wed 4\/25 – Congress Day #8<\/strong> – please be there, it will be our day for hearings, debate and voting on 9 or 10 bills – a big agenda. <\/p>\n

Fri 4\/27 – Recession 101<\/strong> (or Congress Day #9 if needed). Instead of reading we have listening, a one-hour radio program (long live radio! But I digress). Please listen to, and take notes on, the “Giant Pool of Money<\/a>” episode of This American Life<\/em> from from May 9, 2008 that attempted to explain the origins of the emerging recession (then tagged as a “housing crisis”). Note how the producers narrate this tale, and what was (then) considered significant or ominous. From the vantage point of 2012, what parts of this story might you tell differently? <\/p>\n

Mon 4\/30 – History in OUR time.<\/strong> If you were assigned to add a new document to the end of the Chafe volume, what would it be? Bring your new document to class IN PRINTED FORM<\/strong>. If it’s lengthy, excerpt\/edit it to under 5 pages. Also, your Congress page should be done by this day. The end-of-term instructions for your Congress project are found here: http:\/\/us45.wikispaces.com\/END+OF+TERM+INFO<\/a><\/p>\n

Reminder: Our third exam <\/strong>will be Monday 5\/7 at 8:30 am in our usual classroom. Note the time is EARLIER than our class meeting time by one hour. Your Congress papers are due<\/strong> at the last exam. If you are not planning to take the exam, please make sure I have your Congress paper in hand before 8:30 that morning. <\/p>\n
