Homework for Thursday

In class we watched Un/Learning my Name by Mohammad Hassan and you talked a little bit about your name with your colleagues.

WRITE:  write a new post responding to this video. You can do it in whatever way you want! You can talk about how your name or your language makes you who you are, or gives people “permission” to treat you a certain way even though that’s so wrong! 

You can also think through how a group has helped define you. As part of it, you can add images or links to videos… whatever you think will help us get to know you and your experiences better. You can even add a link to a video. Or record an audio file and link to it. Or draw something and upload the image. Whatever you want. Remember: we’re all about composing in the 21st century, so feel free to do what you think would be interesting for us to see/hear/learn about. The idea is to get you thinking about how those issues affect you. How they’ve helped shape who you are and who you’re becoming.

At least 200 words. Use category: Intro.

Hi! And welcome to our first day of class!

Homework! (Due by 8 am Tuesday, Aug 30.)

Note: HW is due by 8 so I have time to review it before class! 

_______________________

 

Being a student can be intimidating, confusing, and just plain difficult!

So for these first few days, you get to vent about it! No kidding. Share your concerns with each other. Maybe give each other some advice or just a good old bit of support. Believe me — instructors have many of the same worries you do, even if we’ve been teaching for a while. I also promise not to hijack the conversations, either! 

Here’s what you’ll do:

  1. PLAY with the website. You can’t break it. Honestly. I’ve tried. Click around on all the tabs. See what’s there! We’ll be doing a great deal of work here this semester, so make yourself familiar with the room. 
  2. READ/ WATCH: these two short “Tips” pieces
  1. WRITE: a new post: Start with one word that describes how you’re feeling about this course as we get started. No need to explain, but you can if you want to. 
  • Talk about your worries, concerns, reactions to the readings and/ or to being a new student… whatever you want to. (At least 100 words) 

              And

  • Add a picture that means something to you, and explain why you chose it — why does it mean something to you?
  • Check back in and comment on your peers’ work!
