Hello, everybody.
The writing workshop meetings have been going well, so thanks for investing and participating in those. I hope you have found them productive and interesting, too.
I’ve posted on Blackboard the schedule and blog prompts for the next unit. Be aware that you do have a blog post (just one) due Sunday before Monday’s regularly scheduled class session. Your revised essay is due by 11:59 p.m. Monday to me as an email attachment and posted on your blog.
In the meantime, keep reading the New York Times, looking for stories that interest you, and also be looking for a blog to start following. That may be a blog about politics, sports, music, film, whatever you prefer. We’ll talk more about this in class.
I’ve also created a short survey I’d like you to check out. It’s anonymous, so it’s not required and you don’t need to answer all six questions. I wanted to give you a chance to let me know what you think of the course so far. I will use what you say to help me plan the rest of the term.
Please visit the survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GX9VYQK.
Finally, I am posting here, on my own course blog, some article links relevant to what you have been writing about in your essays. There’s one about ebooks and the death of democracy, another about facebook and narcissism, a third advocating “screen literacy.” If you’re looking for more sources, those could be worth browsing.
Have a good weekend. Stay clear of avalanches. I’ll see you all Monday.
