Welcome

Hi all,

Welcome to the class blog. This will be a space where we can share our ideas through writing. Please remember to maintain an academic writing style and a spirit of cooperation.

Your first assignment is to read one article from the following choices and to write a reaction to the text on your blog.

Should a baby's gender be kept a secret?
http://theweek.com/article/index/215629/should-a-babys-gender-be-kept-a-secret


Your response should be between 300 and 400 words. You should explain the article's ideas and your reaction to those ideas. The goal is to communicate your ideas in an academic manner. That means you should use appropriate vocabulary and support your claims as much as possible.

Happy Blogging!
