week 10

For the blog entry this time, summarize one of the sources that you have identified which contains information that you would like to use in the research paper. Use the handout "how to summarize" from last class as a guide.

week 9

Hi everyone,
For the blog this weekend, write one or more paragraphs on a particular place that might work as a research topic. Describe what you know about the place already and what additional sorts of information you would need to obtain by doing research in order to understand this place more completely. Then go online and search for this additional information with google (or a comparable search engine). Also go to the queen's college databases and try a variety of searches to identify scholarly sources that you could use to get the information that you need about your topic.

week 7

Discuss the attitude toward "civilization" in the short story "Blue Winds Dancing"
or in in the selection by Ian Frazier.

week 6

Hi everyone,
Following on our discussion of chapter one from Bryan Moore's book, discuss an original example of anthropomorphism that you would add to the examples he provides.

week 5

Sorry I did not get the question posted for last week. Reminder: this Tuesday (9/29) the college
is on a Monday schedule so the next time that our class will meet is Thursday 10/01. For the blog this time, discuss the meaning of a passage (a few words or a few lines or more) that you choose from one of the stories that we discussed this week or last week. Explain why the passage appears important to you for understanding the story as a whole.

week 3

Hi everyone,
For this Tuesday post an introductory paragraph using one of the 6 methods of introduction we discussed last class. The paragraph you post should be able to serve as the introductory paragraph for an essay on one of the following topics: explain the significance of a recent cultural experience that you have had, or analyze the causes of a misunderstanding in which two or more people interpreted the same thing in different ways. Take care to articulate your thesis fully in the paragraph. See you on Tuesday!

Greetings

What a wonderful Fall morning it is right now. By Tuesday a.m., post your first comment.
The comment should describe an example of the use of a particular image and words, and it should explain how the meaning of the one, the words for example, affects or changes the meaning of the other, the image. If you run into problems with the mechanics of posting, we will address them on Tuesday. Use complete sentences formed into a cohesive paragraph. For Tuesday, make sure you have read and printed out the next article from eres and bring it to class with you. See you then...
