Sign-up for oral presentations

Everyone should sign up for one presentation.  Only one person may sign up for each paper (sign on the line beneath the article title).  All articles are in the course packet with the exception of one article that I will add on New World colonization on Nov 9 to give us enough articles for everyone in class.
