Consider the people and/or events that we have discussed this semester -- whether it is through the text/lessons, in-class activities, homework, or documentaries, and choose something that interested you the most. Tell me several things that you learned, why you found your choice to be interesting, and whether or not you had heard of it prior to the semester. Your response should be several paragraphs.
