Assignments
Note: All readings are from Rereading America unless otherwise noted. Also, all assignments are subject to change. Reading responses are due by midnight (PDT) on the day they are assigned. Send these to me by email ([email protected]). Go to discussion board and respond to questions posted there each day.
Week I
June 17th :
Make sure you are enrolled on the Course Compass Website.
Go to the Discussion Board and participate on the Ice Breaker.
Read my notes on the theme of this course on the Course Documents page. (This is where I will post my notes on the readings and topics, and will comment on your online group discussions. I expect you to read these notes as if you were listening carefully to me speaking in class!) After reading my notes on the theme (Oppression), send me an email response in which you discuss one of the forms of oppression that you are familiar with because either you or someone you know has been a target of it.
June 18th :
Read “Introduction.” to text, pp. 1-15
(No reading response due)
Participate on the Discussion Board. I suggest that you answer the questions in your word processing program, then create a new discussion thread and paste your answers in. Also, respond to what others in your group have said. Remember that just posting your responses to the questions will not give you full participation credit for the day. You should go back during the week and see what others have written to you. At the end of the week, the discussions will be closed, but you can always read what has been said. This will be the procedure for EVERY reading assignment.
Remember to read my ‘lecture notes’ on the Course Documents page every day!
June 19th:
“Learning to Read,” Malcolm X, pp. 210+
(Reading Response due. See “What is a Reading Response” on Course Information page)
(Reading Response due on day assigned by midnight, PDT. To turn in responses, send them to my email address ([email protected]). Please designate in your subject heading which article you are responding to. For example: “Eng. 122 (your section number), Response to “Learning to Read.” Also, make sure your full name is contained in the body of the email. Please do not attach your response as a file; instead, copy it into your email. I do not suggest composing the response in an email message—it could get erased accidentally.) This will be the procedure unless otherwise stated. Remember that, unless otherwise instructed, you must turn in one reading response for each article we read. Follow instructions on the What is a Reading Response? handout found on the Course Information page. I will be responding to most of the responses you send me, but not to all of them.
Participate in the group discussion of the articles by going to the Discussion Board section and clicking on the group which has your name in the heading. Answer the questions I have posted there and respond to what others have said in their answers. The more you participate in these discussions, the better your participation grade will be. You will be expected to come back to your discussion group at various times during each week to read what others have written and comment. You must write your comments to get credit for going to the discussion board. The discussion groups will be on-going during a given week, but your first posting on any assignment needs to be made on the date of the assignment. Please note, that sometimes, there will be just one big discussion group.
