Homework for 9/23

Did you know that September 23 is Bruce Springsteen's birthday? WOOO!!

Here's your homework; sorry for the delay:


You are to read one of two documents for understanding. Please take any notes you feel necessary to facilitate your ability to participate in a class discussion about these documents.

First is the Mayflower Compact, which was written aboard the Mayflower in 1620.

Next is A Model of Christian Charity, written by John Winthrop in 1630. Be aware that this is a much longer document, so be sure to allot yourself sufficient time to read it and read it well.

Focus your reading on identifying the goals of each settlement. Be sure to identify any obvious POV/bias in the reading...
