Office Hours for the Week of 10/12    Posted: Oct 12, 2009 I will be unavailable for office hours today (Monday, 10/12) and Thursday (10/15). Please come see me or call me during my Tuesday and Wednesday hours, and feel free to send me an email message anytime.

Film Project Instructions and Oops    Posted: Sep 23, 2009 I've posted the film project instructions under "Handouts." You can download and print them, or wait until next week. I'll make copies for distribution. I forgot to return your journals. I will do that next week.

Some More (Hopefully) Helpful Writing Tips    Posted: Sep 23, 2009 Hi, All. When writing short answers, think about explicating a thinker's view or argument. When writing essays, think about arguing for a position (or solving a problem) based on what the text says. Don't shy away from parts that might undermine your view. Try to analyze and overcome them. You should also keep things simple! Write as if you're explaining things to a moderately intelligent 8th grader. You don't need complicated language or sentence structure.

Next Week's Movie - View and Vote!!!    Posted: Sep 17, 2009 Hi All, Please watch the trailers for "Being There" and "Always Outnumbered, Always Outgunned". Then send me an email with your choice for next week's screening. Ordinarily I would choose, but our class discussions (which, by the way, have been excellent - good for you!) haven't forced me in one direction or another... The link below should take you to a site that has trailers for both films. "Being There" can also be found on YouTube.com, but I've had a hard time finding the other film elsewhere...
