Here are some links to articles (sorted by class) that each student will be required to read and react to/discuss via the corresponding message board. I will be checking to ensure that students are participating in the discussions--each student should post at least once for each message topic. While I will notify the class when a new topic has been posted, it would be advantageous for students to check in periodically to ensure they have not missed a topic.

There are also some useful and fun sites that I have found. I'm sure I've got plenty more, but I wanted to just get some up quickly. Not to worry, I'll add more along the way.

Feel free to suggest some as well! Remember, school appropriate! Any site that has helped you, interested you and/or challenged your mind! Sorry, no Sparknotes! > :I
