For next week (February 2) here is what we will be doing in class (email me with any questions): 1. You will read/view the links below. Not only will you come to class prepared to discuss these articles/podcasts--but you will write about each one in your.....
2. Reading/Research Journal: which you will started last week. In addition, I want to see your Reading/Research Journals before class this week. If you are journaling electronically, send me your Journal by 1:00 on Wednesday (before class). If you are writing, I will collect it during class and take a look.
3. Read the ANB biography-of-the day each and every day and write comments in your Reading and Research Journal.
4. During class, we will talk about: what makes a good/bad biography; sources; and we will try to all decide who we might want to read about.
5. Bring your laptops and we will even search around for people and book possibilities.
