UPDATE: 09.30.08

READING: For Thursday's class, please read the Brent Staples essay, entitled "Black Men in Public Spaces," as well as the short introduction to reflective writing. Both of these selections are from Reading Critically, Writing Well, and they correspond to pages 158-164 in the PDF file on Blackboard. If you want to further familiarize yourself with reflective writing, I would highly suggest reading the other essay in that cluster as well.

Also, as we did with the Kara's essay today in class, we will write, comment, and critique Zach Beedle's essay, "Railroad Community." While I hope everyone participates in the discussion, I will be particularly interested in hearing form those of you who did not speak much in class today (Hint, hint).

WRITING: For your first writing assignment of the week, please embed an image or video into a post, along with 2 hyperlinks and a 300 word response. DUE: Sunday, October 5th @ midnight.

I would also like you to post the cubing assignment on your blog as well. This will necessarily mean that, to complete the assignment, you must have conducted at least one first-hand observation. Guidelines for this exercise can be found in the WP1 post. DUE: Tuesday, October 7th @ 2:00PM.
