The links below are both a recording of Maya Angelou's reading of the inaugural poem and the etext. I want you to read the poem and watch the video. Then in your blog posting comment on what you think is her intent and her effectivness in capturing the moment (i.e. mimesis). Then I want you to compare her reading to Elizabeth Alexander's inaugural poem.

Put Your History PPT's Here
Ok,
Since a big part of the History exam is going to be over our presentations, everyone needs to put up their PowerPoints here so it makes it a lot easier for everyone else to look back at them, instead of looking through all the notes we took.
I'm pretty sure you can upload it as a Google doc. and just post the URL here or something, idk I'll try it later.
