All students checked out a white book "This Century for Young People." I told them they would have their first homework assignment out of it, so here it is. It is due on October 10th, Monday, when we have the 8 day period. DO NOT answer outside your designated questions and do not make the mistake of answering the wrong questions. I will deduct half off if you answer the wrong set of questions according to the first letter of your last name. To earn a high mark, you will write at least one paragraph per question. However, if you want to elaborate or add more detail, you will increase your chances of earning a higher mark.
Read pages 3 through 11.
