Today's in class essay was an analysis of Mubarak Dahir's NPR commentary. Essays will be returned to you next Monday, January 31st (barring serious injury or death of your teacher).
Grades will be based on:
1. How well you interpreted the purpose of the essay. This is where you should not let the title fool you--the purpose was not to explain the difficulties of being the only Muslim in a classroom led by a Christian teacher.

In class:
Broke into groups of two and created eight AP style multiple choice questions, complete with answers (on a separate page). These questions can focus on rhetoric, purpose and motifs from Zippy.
