Seminars/Lit Circles, etc.

Please sign up for seminars NOW, ok! I would like our facilitators to have their list of participants by noon on TH so that they can distribute folders. Jenn and Jacqueline, Dave and James are looking for participants. Laura and Nick have also invited you to join them. Thanks for supporting these seminars. You can't go wrong with any of them.

Also, lit circle selections include SAMMY AND JULIANA IN HOLLYWOOD, WHO AM I WITHOUT HIM: SHORT STORIES ABOUT GIRLS AND THE BOYS IN THEIR LIVES (AUTHOR SHARON FLAKE--AFRICAN-AMERICAN TEEN VENACULAR), GEEKS: HOW TWO LOST BOYS RODE THE INTERNET OUT OF IDAHO, AND JOHN LENNON: ALL I WANT IS THE TRUTH. Suggest another title Or take a look at your classmates' posts and sign up with them.

I'd like to know what everyone is reading for book club TH night?

Reminders:

• Seminar evals from facilitators are due TH night...please word process--use the questions but it's not necessary to be a slave to them. Last week's seminar participants need to post their feedback on the blog--this should not be a generalized "good job" but should focus on the specfiics of the seminar. Why was it so engaging? Why was the learning important for you? What did the seminar provoke your thinking more about? You get the point....

• Paper draft due this TH OR on the 20th. Final copy on or before April 30.

• Please blog your project report OR give me a hard copy (including writing where relevant) on TH night.

Hi Karen - just writing a quick two cents on Appleman's text/ideas. I did want to ask, did you want me to try and post my writing project info. again or perhaps just make another quick mention during class? Also, what did you generally think of what I've showed you? Thanks!

Jesse, I was honest when we talked at the Blue Frog. I like what you're doing.

And we will start class TH night with your invitation to your classmates to join you in your publishing project. Post another poem--or two!! KES

KES-
I've managed to lose the prompt questions for the seminar reflections. Could you send them along?
TY

Chris-
If you still need the prompts, I can type them up for you this evening.

I apologize Chris. Those questions are on my campus computer. They are on the back of the handout with the seminar topics/dates. I'll bet that handout is in your binder but you may not be noticing what's on the back of that one sheet.

If you don't find them, I'll get them to you when I'm next in the office which of course will be TH afternoon. It's ok. KES
