Honors World Regional Blog Assignment #1 Fall 2o16

Here is your first blog assignment for this semester,  I will post three right now; another two next week. You need to complete three before Fall Break. Each response should be made as a comment on the original post, it should be at least 500 words and please make sure that you identify yourself clearly so I know who has written each response. The first time you post a comment it may not show up, until you’ve posted a few times I have to moderate and approve your responses.
