Homework due on Sunday 06/19/2022- by 4 PM:

1. Complete your three-question reflection in your Google Doc share file:

2. Please read or view two of four references below and take 3 to 4 pages of notes in keywords, and drawings.

Could you please download the MS Word attached document, take a picture of your notes, and insert the photo in the document, then upload your picture homework to your ESP2b Google Doc. ESP2a students, the shared file is the same. When you write direct quotations please note the paragraph number or time-stamp of where you got your work. Thanks! 

Note: The viewings are new and not listed in your Google Docs., but please feel free to choose them. I have no assistant, so I am a professor and her own assistant at the same time, so pretty busy:).
