You will submit to me Summary/Responses on assigned readings that will consist of a one page summary and response (no less but not much more than 300 words). Half the page should be a summary of all assigned readings together and half the page should be a response to these readings. Since there will typically be more than one assigned reading, the challenge is to cram as much information into the first half page as possible (with standard margins and font size!) You will need to choose your words wisely and not waste any space. Each reading should get at least a sentence or two, depending how much room you have and how many readings you have that week. The response should explain how you felt about the reading, if you connected with it on any level, and should attempt to connect the reading to something in the present day, whether a current event or your personal life if at all possible.Week of Nov 8th – Early Modern EuropePerry, The Black Death 258-259Perry, Extremist Behavior During the Plague 259-260Perry, On the Misery of the Human Condition 266-267
