2. Small FR concluding “ mini-project” speaking task with me.CHOICE 1: Decide on an event or decision from FR to examine using Ethical Judgment steps. Share your findings with me. Speaking task - no writing to submit. CHOICE 2: Using a primary source document, examine Bias in 2 of the first-hand accounts that I will give to you. Share your findings with me - speaking task - no writing to submit.
