Precious: the summer reading assignment based on the novel Push by Sapphire

Welcome to your first Race and Gender Blog Assignment. You will use this blog initially to comment on the summer reading at various points this summer, and you will continue to use the blog throughout the year as part journal, part discussion starter, part course reflector. Below and/or to the right, you will see the "prompts" I would like you to write about and the dates that I expect your entry to be completed. Some of the prompts will be straight forward answers, and others will require you to react to your classmates' responses. Your responses will not be graded for grammar or style, but be deliberate about how you craft your answer. Think about how your response might spark further discussion on the topic. There will be 3 Prompts in total.
