Why is love such an important theme in music, poetry, short stories, novels, and movies? There are so many works of art dedicated to the topic, and yet, in real life there are so many bad breakup and divorce stories. Why are people so interested in love -- and so often, so bad at loving?
AGENDA:
Today is a work day. You all had an A on Monday. At this point, many of you don't. Please:
- Finish any leftover journals for the week
- Make sure your name/blog URL info in "Member Blogs" page is accurate
- Make sure you've commented to course blog
- Make sure your blog has following posts:
- Welcome
- Response to "The Right to Your Opinion"
- If you've finished everything and you're satisfied/confident, you can spend some time designing your blog. Add features, graphics, and anything else that you think will make it more interesting and fun for your audience.
PREVIEW OF COMING ATTRACTIONS:
Next week we will discuss and use what you've learned so far. We will have a Socratic seminar (topics: remix/creative commons; socratic method; right to your opinion; "Richard Cory"), we will discuss fair use on the internet, you will license your blogs, and we will get into some student-written literature. We will also explore the power of the question, and I will ask you to consider a Big Question you want to pursue this year. (If you'd like to learn about this ahead of time, you can see some former students' ideas HERE.) Have a great weekend! -dp
