For session 13

This week is a good reminder that topics doesn't always fit tidily into discrete sessions! I'm very aware that we are in the middle of some great discussions and don't want to artificially cut them off. At the same time, the end of the semester is near!

Here's my tenitive plan for Monday (11/26) and Wednesday (11/28):
  • Housekeeping:
  • Wrap up discussion of Jewish American literature and debriefing on blogging
  • GLBTQ literature--if we need to extend this into next session, we will.
  • Discuss plans for final session/Final project
  • SIRS forms
Are there other topics that people want addressed this week? If so, write a quick comment. :-)

To prepare for class, please bring:
  • Confessions of a Closet Catholic so that we can wrap up our discussion and think of what questions we want to ask Sarah Littman
  • Boy Meets Boy, your questioning the text papers, articles for our discussion of GLBTQ literature
  • Your updated log of blogging (last page of syllabus). You will not have completed your blogging, but I want to check my records against yours before the end of the semester.
  • Ideas about how you would like our last session to look. For example, any preferences on how we share projects? (I have some options, but would like your input as well.)
  • Any questions you have about the end of the semester and/or the final projects.

Hey Valerie, I hope I am not treading over ground we've covered already, but I forget if we have discussed what public blog we are posting on, or if we are waiting to do that until the final session? I am sorry if this has already been covered - I am completely blanking. Thanks so much!

Hey Valerie, I have a lot of questions about the final project. I hope we talk about it in quite a bit of detail in class or at least at break!! Thanks!

Yes, we'll make time to talk about the final projects tomorrow!

You'll get the instructions for the public blog next week, during our final session.
