Hi Class,
Your blog is like an online journal. You will be able to respond to topics discussed in the course and dialog with your fellow students and instructor via your blog.
For your first post tell me something about yourself. Draw on what you included in your "Who I Am" essay. You could include stuff like your family background, neighborhood, culture, interests, etc.
For your second post I want you to answer the following questions...
1. What is “race”?
2. What is “ethnicity”?
3. What is “nationality”?
How are they similar? How are they different?
Work with a fellow student. Use the handout I provided to find answers to these questions.
Check out these following links to try and find an answer:
Webster's Dictionary

How does the dictionary define these terms. Copy and paste the most appropriate usage you find at the above link. BUT CREDIT THE SOURCE! Provide a link and explain to your reader that you took it from the Webster's Dictionary website.
