Post #14: Responses to Third Day

Tonight's blog response is the same as the last two--write a specific response to at least one of today's presentations.

I was really impressed by your feedback in the last blog response--you provided constructive feedback, you referred your classmates to further topics for research, you offered great counterarguments,....

Keep up the good work! And don't forget your potluck item if you're bringing one on Tuesday.

Post #13: Response to Second Day

For your new blog response, write a response to one of the presentations you heard in class today. You're doing the same thing as your last blog response: You can pose one or more follow-up questions, offer potential counterarguments , make connections to other things you've seen or read, or pose further lines of inquiry for any of these projects.

Please write at least one well-developed paragraph. Also, check out the responses that your peers wrote for the last blog response. Some of the points raised were quite insightful and thought-provoking.

Due: Before our next class meeting

p.s. Potluck next Tuesday--what do you want to bring? Write the item you're bringing at the bottom of your blog response. (note: you are not required to bring something, but it'll be fun if you do)

Post #12: Responses to First Day of Presentations

For your new blog response, write a response to one of the presentations you heard in class today. You can pose one or more follow-up questions (especially because we were too rushed to allow you all to voice your questions today), offer potential counterarguments (like Esther's follow-up question today), make connections to other things you've seen or read, or pose further lines of inquiry for any of these projects.

Due: Before our next class meeting

For 11.5

Please spend extra time revising and extending your drafts. The minimum is 5 pages (including counterarguments!) for Thursday. Since the final draft is due next Tuesday, the more you bring in on Thursday, the better.

If you have any questions, just e-mail me before Thursday's class.
