Returned 7-page drafts. Students had 10 minutes to proofread their instructor drafts, then turned in 10-page drafts. HW 40 and 41 instructions handed out (see the Documents for ITW 101 page if you missed them). HW 40 asks you to respond to a podcast from Alive in Baghdad. Leave yourself time to make sure you can view the podcast on the computer you’ll be using, and if you’re using the computer lab you might want to bring headphones with you.  Share research findings/blog posts for HW 35B–students were asked to look up a name or term from pages 41-69 of Baghdad Burning. You can view my shared posts in Google Reader at http://www.google.com/reader/shared/09248713823500804133.

After the break, exploring intellectual and emotional responses to texts. Identifying the emotional tone and undercurrents of writing and other works of art can be a help in analyzing and understanding them. Here are part of your reactions to this exercise: 4clockexploring-your-intellectual-and-emotional-responses-to-texts.doc 6-oclock-exploring-your-intellectual-and-emotional-responses-to-texts.doc

I was happy to hear from Brian Conley today, who started the Alive in Baghdad podcast series you’ll be responding to next week. They’re doing important, original work and our attention to it on class blogs might even help spread the word.
