The Summing Up

If you are reading this, congratulations, you made it to the end of the semester.  Now tell us what you learned, not just in this class mind you (though that is, of course a part of your learning experience) but in every part of your life, both in school and out.  How have you grown, shrunk, changed, stayed the same?  And, most of all, what lessons do you want to pass along to the rest of us.  As usual, 250 word post up by Thursday night (4/28) and 100 word response up by Sunday night (5/1).

Your Social Action

Since all of you  have (hopefully) begun working on social action projects by now you should be able to tell us about what your topic is and what you're doing.  This is an opportunity to get your classmates interested and, potentially, get them to help you out if your cause is something you need audience participation for.  As usual, 250 word post up by Thursday night (04/21) and 100 word response up by Sunday night (04/24).

Haikus

Here's the deal folks, I'm including a link to a website about haikus and, after reading a few of them, I will be expecting you to do one of two things: post a 250 word reaction to some of the haikus you read or write three (3) haikus of your own.  If you don't know the rules of a haiku, better check, because I will count off if you don't follow them.  For the follow up, you can either do a 100 word response or write two more haikus.  Have fun with this one.  First response up by Thursday night (04/07) and 100 word response up by Sunday night (04/10).  http://haiku-poems.50webs.com/

Favorite Hobby

I'm giving you an easy one this week, talk about a favorite hobby of yours and argue for why someone who hasn't tried it before would want to try it out.  Make sure your grandmother would approve.  As usual, 250 word post up by Thursday night (04/07) and 100 word response up by Sunday night (04/10).
