Illness and Cancellation of class, Thursday, 10/29

Dear Students, I am sorry that my cold/flu is getting worse and we won't be able to have our WAR II class this Thursday. Defining: Body Language is still due on Tuesday, 11/3. Hold on to your myth examples that you were asked to do for homework. We will discuss them on Tuesday, and start work on discussion of Verbal Language. Stay healthy, Christopher

Mix Up

Dear Students,

I switched the dates of our readings, and we will read “Heat on the Street: video violence in teen culture” by Charles Piot for Thursday, Oct. 29th instead of for the 27th. I was a week ahead of my reading schedule, and I apologize.

This Tuesday, the 27th, we will discuss our writing exercise as well as a few other activities.

Sincerely,

Christopher

Reminder: for Thursday, 10/15: WIP 1

For those not in class this Tuesday...you will want to check Oasis and download and complete Work In Progress 1 in time for class on Thursday, the 15th. The file can be found under the WIP unit in Coursework.

Reading Changes

To focus a bit more on practicing Field Notes, the reading for Tuesday, 10/5 has been moved until 10/7. I am referring to the article from the Virginia Quarterly that can be accessed here: "Tropical Depression."

Remember, I recommended you read the Engaging Communities chapter on Place and Space for Tuesday's class in replace of the above scheduled reading. Basically, the readings were switched around.

I will make this announcement in class on Tuesday, and it should not harm our research efforts! In fact, our writing exercise on Thursday will be benefited by our reading the VQR reading.

bests,

C.
