Please bring 2 copies of your essay Draft at that time. You need to have at least 9 paras at that time.

If you cant make it, then you should plan to send me your draft over email by next Monday.

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

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.
