Recap: Dyson Assignment . . . and other things
Today in class we were to discuss "Bodies and Beliefs" but students hadn't read Dyson since last week. So I gave students a chapter to write a summary essay on and for a freewrite students were to respond to another question developed last week from chapters 1-5. This is a 3-paragraph response. Remember to use a citation in each paragraph: free paraphrase, one block quote and a shorter citation.
Post the 3-paragraph essays in response to "Bodies and Beliefs" here. Don't forget to respond to two classmates' essays. The essays have to be from the two chapters that differ from yours. Respond with an idea not discussed in the essay. Again, use Dyson in your response. You can respond in a paragraph.
Next week
Monday/Tuesday I will show the class we will watch a video looking at misogyny in American culture and by extension hip hop culture: Hip Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes. There will be a cyber-essay attached to the film. The film is 56 minutes, so there will not be any time for anything else, not even discussion, but we can talk about it on Tuesday (smile).
There will be a cyber-assignment connect to the film. The early class will not be able to have any discussion as the film is 56 minutes long. We'll have to talk about it Wednesday, as Tuesday, Sept. 27, we meet in the library for an orientation at 8 AM.
Pidd . . . Social Entrepreneurs . . . etc.
Continue doing the exercises in Pidd. The next essay is Essay 1. We will write the essay in class perhaps next Thursday. We'll see. We will start talking about the Social Entrepreneur essay. I want to suggest a field trip next Thursday to see a play at La Pena Cultural Center in Berkeley. More later. I'd also like to recommend another performance in San Francisco, Thursday, October 13. It is a pay-what-you-can. More later (smile).
