I LOVE when this happens!

We all finished watching God Grew Tired of Us in class today (except Section 01 which has just five minutes to go). I've been getting a lot of good feedback from you guys about the film - you seemed to enjoy the story of John Bul (don't you love his mom in the airport?), Daniel, and Panther. So you can imagine how happy I was to see that the story of another Lost Boy was the main headline on CNN.com today. Check it out here.

If there is interest, I will show this film again at 3:00 on Friday in the TV Studio. So if you missed some of it and want to catch up, let me know. The Harford County Public Library also has over a dozen copies so you can watch at home.

Section 03 will test on God Grew Tired of Us on Monday; Sections 01 and 05 on Tuesday. It's worth 100 points.

While we're at it, go here to visit John Bul Dau's foundation website. His foundation is also on Facebook - go here to become a fan, or you can even friend John Bul - imagine! Panther founded a school in Sudan, and the website for his foundation is here. And finally, you can get updates on all the Lost Boys from the film here.

Okay, on to your projects. This is a reminder to all sections: print out your research paper and bring it to class tomorrow so you can benefit from some peer editing. If you have a red pen, bring that to class, too.

The Works Cited page is required for this project. We will use the MLA format. Help can be found at Easy Bib. I require at least four sources; I recommend at least six to eight (not counting picture credits).

This research paper is due at the beginning of class on Wednesday, December 16.

Many, many thanks to Jordan for the bagels, and to Lauren for the cookies! You guys are the greatest!

Don't forget - a blog posting a day keeps the zeroes away!
