Students received many handouts today. We started class responding to the assignment pertaining to the Frontline Focus: Social Entrepreneur videos students watched yesterday. Some students didn't read the assignment correctly and watched three videos at one sitting. The assignment was to watch three over a week and respond to each one in a minimally 3 paragraph essay to the questions I asked.

Tomorrow we meet downstairs with Steve Gerstle. Bring the research essay assignment sheet. We went over due dates in class today. We also discussed the range and flexibility of the assignment. Some students asked about whether they could profile a person in another country. Zareth actually lived in the community where the person is she wants to profile, so this would be okay. Another student in another class asked about an artist who is an entrepreneur, not necessarily a social entrepreneur. I said this would be okay if the writer talked about the difference between the two types of entrepreneurs. Howard asked about a minister who might not have a lot written about him. I told him he didn't have to have a lot; a broadcast piece: radio and/or TV, plus one news article would work. He could then interview the person and maybe someone connected to the organization like a client.

There should be minimally three response essays to the videos blogged.
I didn't mention that you will be presenting these papers.

We talked about the importance at this level course for information literacy and the importance of students learning how to manage information responsively as scholars.
This is the objective and goal of this course. The writing is important as it relates to scholarship--information literacy. How you handle the information you use to prove your point, to substantiate your claims. If a student cannot, at the end of the semester produce a clear and concise works cited page MLA format and a bibliography, plus manage sources cited in-text, such student will not pass the course, no matter how well the rest of the compositions are.

If you have any questions about this ask me. I am at your service. I want you to pass the course, so ask me when you are unclear. The librarians and the Writing Center staff how lots of handouts and there are exercises on line at www.dianahacker.com/rules and at Bedford Handbook (in the Writing Center.)
