Today in class we had a library orientation. Bring the book you plan to read and present to class Monday, March 8, 2010, to share. Students asked if students could read the same book and or books by the same author. The answer is yes. Students can also chose as a subject or author someone who is also a social entrepreneur.

Group presentations are also okay. The dates and full assignments are coming, just note that the first essay takes its themes from Half the Sky, the second is an analysis and discussion of your literary selection and the last is a profile of your social entrepreneur. Each essay is about 4-6 pages, and there is an oral component to each essay that counts, which means if you skip it you lose credit.

March: Half the Sky
Earmark March 4, 2010 for a field trip to theatre in Emeryville (Bay Street)
