Class Agenda 4.16

1. Announcements
When is Essay 2 Peer Review?
How did the blog comments go?
What is your current assignment in anthro?
Did you see this and this?

2. Twitter Time!

a. First, log into Twitter.
b. Then, Tweet about Untouchable if you haven't done so: one Tweet about your overall impression of the book, and one Tweet that puts down a page number and gives a comment on a particular scene you found interesting, confusing, or useful.
c. Once you've Tweet, go and "favorite" one classmates' Tweet and reTweet one classmates' Tweet.
d. Now search for the following Twitter handles in the search box, and "follow" these handles:

@Prisonwatchint
@followbamn
@lobojost
@shamnix
@ZMTRUST 

Once you're following these handles, explore some of their recent Tweets, and their links. Take note of things that interest you. What is the purpose of these handles? Do they surprise you, or did you expect them? Why? Do you think Twitter is a legitimate way to have interesting conversations? What does it take to have them?

3. Blog time!

In a short in-class blog, free-write and "digest" what you saw on the new Twitter handles. I want you to focus in particular on any connections you see to the "race and culture" cluster. 

4. Now let's look at some of our student writing together: let's return to the blogs we wrote last week and talk about the writing strategies we used, and think of some new ones to use in the future.  Consider your experience reading blogs from the other class.
