You may use any sources you want to, including the textbook, the weekly lessons, the class notes, the discussion board and your blog, the suggested web-sites, along with anything else. But, please note, if you USE ANYTHING THAT IS NOT PART OF OUR CLASS, YOU MUST DISCLOSE IT, either via a parenthetical MLA referenceOR in a Works Cited Page–in which case you could simply add a Works Cited page at the very end of your finished product.REMEMBER TO USE AN MLA HEADING, A TITLE WHICH CAN BE MIDTERM EXAM, AND USE MLA PAGE NUMBERING.

  1. Discuss the functions of the United States government. Point out at least THREE functions of the American government and give precise examples of each. Be specific. Which of the three that you have chosen to discuss do you think is the most important? Why?

Be specific and use examples directly from the chapter.
  5. Go back to your Individual Blog. Based on everything you have written in it so far, craft an essay in which you discuss at least THREE things you have learned this term. What is each one? Why is each one important? How will this new knowledge help you in the future and why? Be specific, and use at LEAST ONE MLA STYLE QUOTATION FROM YOUR BLOG. Your MLA quotation will be referenced this way at the end of the “sentence in which you use the quote” (Your last name Individual Blog).

Read the article published in Salon.com that is posted above “Secrets of the Muslim Bathroom“. What cultural norms does the author talk about that are seen as potentially strange or embarrassing to him in front of his fellow Americans?
