Gerrymandering and Summaries

Hey guys. Hopefully I'll have the presentation article up early so you have something to read over Christmas. In the meantime, I mentioned a funny clip about gerrymandering to one of the classes the other day and promised a link, here it is, worth a watch:

Also, strictly for 1MA/1, I also mentioned the texts we'll have to summaries for before the end of the year. Here's the links to some of them:

There's one missing as I can't find it online and will bring it to class one day. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Travel & Tourism

Hey everybody. Once again my apologies to 1MA/2 for the article mix up. I'd still like you guys to take a look at this stuff when you get the chance -
short quiz - http://www.pewresearch.org/quiz/how-millennial-are-you/
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/arianna-huffington/millennials-stress_b_2718986.html
http://nymag.com/thecut/2013/07/texting-exes-social-media-generation.html

The Huffington Post article is probably the best source for some final exam questions.

Anyway, on to bigger and better things: travel and tourism! I'd like both classes to read this and be ready for our last class before Christmas!
