Recap
Homework is to catch up. If you have read Takaki up to Contradictions and want to get ahead, start this section. We will discuss Chapters 4-6 next Wednesday, Sept. 15-16. The goal is to complete the book and write the definitive essay(s) by the end of September (smile).
Email me the three paragraph essays that were due today. We ran out of time and only a few students were able to practice Microsoft comment. I will read your essays and give you a grade.
Don't forget to keep a reading log.
Oh, extra credit assignments do not take the place of class assignments. Do the class assignments first. Quite a few new students joined us this week. My suggestion is to read the entire blog starting with the syllabus (August 22, 2010 post). The assignments you are responsible for start the first day you attend. Other assignments are relevant for your personal edification. You cannot make them up.
Take for instance, The Tempest, which we have been reading in class. Students who were not here still have to read it, because there will be other writing assignments attached to the material. The play is on-line. We have a translation published by Barnes and Noble. I gave students copies in class; however, if you are behind, I suggest you read the first Act Scene 2 to familiarize yourself with the story.
A lot of students are coming to class late. Some of these students have serious challenges, like homelessness, but not all have this story. I received a call today from a student who is in the hospital. She has been there since last week. I cannot stop and catch you up when late. Students who are late will just miss the assignment.
I am using the lab time to share strategies with you to help you in all your classes like email protocol: copying oneself, pasting the document as well as attaching it, filling in the subject line.
We will do the Microsoft comment next week, Thursday. Don't forget, Tuesday, Sept. 14, is the first formal presentation, the topic: American culture. Bring in an object that represents American culture. Share the reasoning or rationale with your audience. You will paste the document on the website. I plan to videotape the presentation to post on the blog. I hope no one objects.
Some of the posts are hard to read because of the formatting. You can report it correctly and I will delete the mistake: poor or no spacing, also irregular line spacing.
