How do we learn about the political process?

So this is for Priscilla and many others of us who talked about being mystified by the whole political process tonight in class... Schoolhouse Rock was a big hit in the 1970s (some of you may remember!). Its main purpose was to educate kids about everything from social studies to grammar. If you want more, go to YouTube and look up SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK. Look at all the ways we can learn (good and bad!) from popular culture!!

Photo Project Presentations

Just a reminder of the plan we made in class on Monday...

You will each have a max of 10 minutes for your presentations next week. I will have the digital projector, my laptop, and a TV cart (for VHS tapes) so you can plan for any of this technology.

Your goal is to present your photos in a coherent "story," illustrating that story in the details of your photographs. The Greenfield piece is your model.

Looking forward to seeing the stories you produce with your teenagers pics!!

Hello? Seeking Evidence of you in the Blogisphere!

Just a reminder that your blog posts are due by noon on Mondays. Barely half of you have posted for today. Those of you that have posted have up fabulous thoughts and ideas -- all of the ones I have read have been so strong! For example, check out Alice, Nicole, and Alisha for some great insights.

See you in class!

Journey to the Motherland with Tricia Rose

I saw a few of you at the Tricia Rose talk on Friday night. I am so interested to hear what you thought of her, her words, and the event in general. Feel free to leave a comment here, or write it up on your own blog! I had a really great night. What did you think??
