@hist150 The effects of COVID-19 reach everyone and reveal the body (and body politic) as a site of global history. What has been your most difficult sacrifice so far as you've lived through this historical moment? Express with words, image, a link, etc.

@hist150 Change that: 1pt for each relevant post (up to 10pts) so if you don't post every week, you'll still earn some points. Good way to make up for a bad or absent quiz score. Points applied at the end of the semester #sdsuhist150sp20
