As spring break is quickly approaching, the students are working hard to finish up their annotated bibliographies. As a requirement of the course, each student is assigned a research topic, which they have to arrange an annotated bibliography on as well as write a research paper about. While the research paper is not due until after the trip, so the students can write about their experiences and what they learned, the annotated bibliography is due this Thursday. In the annotated bibliographies each student is required to find ten sources and write a paragraph about each one. These sources will help each student learn more about their topic before they go on the trip, as well as help them write their paper when they return from Guatemala. As we are all aware, it is important to be educated about the issues the people of Guatemala are faced with. This will allow us to have a more rewarding experience.

The students cannot wait until May 13, 2009, when they fly out of Bradley International Airport. They are all eagerly anticipating the trip and are looking forward to learning about Guatemala first hand, meeting new people, and working hard to help improve their lives. The trip is going to be a blast! Only two more months...
