To testify on behalf of my geeky interior, I have banned myself from libraries because I always want to take home all the book I can carry. Today, I had to go because of a group project and walked out with seven more books on the Middle East, Islam, Jihad, Hamas, faith, and conflict. And low and behold, I found the Holy-Grail to my independent study: Political Handbook of the Middle East 2006. I have already started taking hand-notes. I wanted to ask if there is a way I can make a digital copy (pdf, or the sort) so I can write it out to help learn it, but archive it on my computer. I figured you'd know how, or where I can scan my notes. I'll show you my progress on Wednesday, if you can meet during fourth period. =)
Books I have borrowed:

Good work! As we discussed you will read and take notes on these sources with the goal of developing 3-5 research questions. Try to post at least once per week on interesting things you are finding in the sources. Let's get the draft questions completed by Wednesday, Nov. 3 so we can plan the next marking period's research strategy.
