Good afternoon Students!

I’m really looking forward to our walking tour of the courts tomorrow!!  (Friday Sept. 11)  EVERYONE is welcome to attend—even if you did not tell me you plan to attend, or if you didn’t join yesterday’s meeting after class about it.  We’ll meet in the courtyard by the Atrium entrance to the college (Tillary St.) between 2:30-3pm, and we’ll start the tour promptly at 3pm.  If you can’t find us, or you arrive after we’ve left for the tour, please call my cell phone, 917.363.0063, and we’ll find you!  (Don’t text or email, I won’t get it.)  If you did tell me you plan to attend and that changes, please email, call or text me before 3pm so we know not to wait for you.  Please review the additional information about the trip, including maps showing where to meet and updated info on the Everbridge app, in my post below, “INFO for Friday’s court tour!!”  You don’t need to bring anything other than a mask (though I’ll have extras) but I’ll be giving you some maps and other items so you may want to bring a small bag.  Wear comfortable shoes!  Forecast is showing good weather.  🙂

If you don’t attend, which is totally fine, remember there is no Zoom videoconference tomorrow afternoon.  In the next few days, I’ll post a video recording of the tour here on OpenLab, then you can watch it and answer some questions to get the academic material and credit for attending tomorrow’s class.

I’ve posted information from yesterday’s class: Under “Class notes & materials” I’ve posted the notes, charts and maps of the court system, and under “Assignments” I’ve added links to Amy Tan’s “Mother Tongue” and excerpts from C&W ch. 2 including p. 21 and the “DYGI?” questions assigned for homework (due before Monday’s class).  For the M&M ch. 2 excerpts, I’ve included a link to Blackboard, which is where you’ll get most readings from now on.  If you have trouble accessing them, let me know.

Have a pleasant evening, see some of you tomorrow, have a great weekend!
