A Different Mirror: A History of Multicultural America
Presentations and Essay Assignment Due Monday-Thursday, October 4-7 and October 12, 2010.
I’d like to go to Alcatraz October 11 for the sunrise ceremony. Is anyone interested?
This is a one day event. Boats depart Pier 33 at 5:15 and 5:45 am. The Indigenous People’s Sunrise Gathering is a commemoration of the 1969-71 occupation of Alcatraz by the “Indians of All Tribes.”
Tickets can also be purchased by calling 415 981-7625 or at the Pier 33 ticket booth. The ticket booth opens at 4:45 am on Monday, October 11, 2010. Tickets are $11.00 per person. Children under age 5 are free.
There is absolutely no sale of merchandise of any kind allowed on Alcatraz Island, at Pier 33, Alcatraz Landing, or on the side walk outside of Alcatraz Landing.

Presentations
Students in groups of 3-4 students or individually will present their section of Takaki. It will be chronologically: Foundations/Contradictions; Foundations/Transitions; Foundations/Transformations.
Monday, October 4, students will have an opportunity to rehearse or practice their presentations. If we don’t finish, we’ll continue Tuesday, October 12. We will not have class on Monday, October 11. There will be a cyber-essay assignment.
Presentation con’t.
We will run through the sections twice, two cycles. Students will prepare an outline for the class detailing the salient points for the section by chapter. Each presentation will be no longer than 15 minutes.
Each group will turn in a brief description of their project, the process used to develop it, any problems and then after the presentation a reflection on the process and presentation to be posted later that day.
Students in the class are responsible for commenting on each presentation in minimally 100-250 words each day. Respond to content, was anything left out? Creativity and lastly cohesion, did the presentation convey a sense of what Takaki covered in the section in the book.
Remember, everyone is responsible for reading all the introductions to the chapters, the first section: Foundations, Chapter 17 (434) and the Author’s Note (441).
The Essay
The individual essay for the section is due for peer review along with Initial Planning Sheet and outline, Tuesday, October 12. The final draft is due, Thursday, October 14. The essay will focus on a theme from the section of A Different Mirror. Students need to include a citation per page: paraphrase, block quote and in-text citation.
I will be focusing on signal phrases, transitions and thesis sentences and support from Takaki. Students do not have to cite any source except Takaki; however, I would like you to cite in a bibliography one scholarly source from the COA academic database.
You should already have such an article.
The essay will be minimally 3-4 pages, plus a works cited page.
Edit for these grammar errors once you have completed the essay: sentence fragments, confused words, subject verb agreement, misspelled words, parallel structure, passive voice, pronoun case, point of view errors.
Edit for these mechanical errors once you have addressed the grammar errors: spacing, heading, header, works cited page, margins.
