HW for Tues nite English 1 class.... this is due on the 19th.....

To get started thinking about community, you have 5 things you are doing....

Keep in mind that you should try to avoid picking reasons that are similar to each other. Once you pick the 3 best that you like, write up 3-4-5 sentences for each one, expanding the discussion of each. (You are essentially creating the topics sentences for each reason.)
