102 class--our final ... what you need to bring

Ok, Monday Dec 18 from 12 - 2 is our final. Please bring 2 copies of your essay Draft at that time. You need to have at least 9 paras at that time.

If you want to send the draft ahead of time, I will try to look at it.

Meanwhile, below are some of the sources we have been looking at. Some of them are more focused on particular questions from the assignment.



1. this article talks about how community action has made a difference. good for Q3.

6. this is a link  to the Story of Stuff video we watched a while back. It is of course about consumption, but it is also about making change. It can work with several of the questions, including the conclusion Q, #5.  This page takes you to a number of their movies, including The Story of Change, which of course is what this paper is about.
