  • Discussion Post
    • Option 1
      • Should "Baby, It's Cold Outside" be banned?  Explain your thoughts in a paragraph with some evidence for classwork credit.   No, you do not need to be as formal as the other writing we have done in this class (citationwise).  
    • Option 2
      • Pick a song that you think would be taken horribly context in the future and explain why.  (It could be because of slang or current events that future people may not be aware of.)  The best explanation will get extra credit.

Homework:
  • Make sure you've posted your blog for credit
