key words & conference tomorrow

Hi Section 1D:

Great presentations and discussion today. Next section we will have time to go over some key words-- so if as you are reading for next week you happen upon concepts, words, ideas that you don't understand (e.g. discourse, postmodernism, ideology, etc.) please write them down and bring them to section so that we can define them together. Also, my office hours are every Thursday after section from 4-5 pm so drop by if you have additional questions or to have a conversation.

Take care & enjoy the weekend,
Freda
