Class Agenda 5.7

1. 9.15-9.45

In-class blog - type up the notes from yesterday's activities into a blog. The purpose of the blog is to provide information from Racial Formation to your classmates. So your classmates and other Lagcc students are your audience, some of whom will see this work later this year. Remember to introduce the purpose of the blog first, then the summaries. To close the blog, write two or three sentences that imagine how you might connect the keyword/text to your essay on Untouchable.

Students that missed class yesterday will not receive extra time to complete this assignment, but they may want to briefly pair up with their assigned partner to be sure they understand the reading.

2. 9.45-10.30

In-class blog: The purpose of this next blog is to create a (very) short "annotated" bibliography. The definition of an annotated bib is here. As the definition says, your purpose is to: discover a source you'll use for your second essay (or revised extension of it); summarize it; assess it; and reflect on it. An example of what an annotated bib looks like is here. I expect 3-4 sentences per section (summarize, assess, reflect). You only need to find one source.

3. Twitter: When your annotated bibliography is complete, you will Tweet the source you found.

Tweet one: Identify the source. #untouchable
Tweet two: summarize the source. #untouchable
Tweet three: assess the source. #untouchable
Tweet four: reflect on the source. #untouchable

4. 10.30-11.20 - Open lab: Students may use the remaining 50 minutes of lab to work on the assignment of their choice. This may be the anthro assignment due today, the second essay due next week, a previous blog that needs completion, or a revision of a previous assignment.

Remember: all revisions of Essay 1 are due June 1 and must be passing.
Remember: if students want to pursue extra credit please see me so I can open an assignment to the class.
