Nov. 5
Students turned in the remaining papers required for the Group Symposium assignment.
Today we worked with SurveyMonkey in learning how to construct a survey for purposes of a
primary source. Each student opened an account and did a survey with three questions. We also answered Priyanka's survey, which is for her informative speech.
In addition, we read an article from The Atlantic on communication and the campaign.
Next Tuesday informative speeches start.
We will check book outlines after the speeches at the next class.
Note: here is an online status sheet for student feedback on the informative speech outlines.
It will be updated periodically, as outlines are reviewed.

------------
We told a ghost story or two in honor of Halloween. After that, we had our final group symposium, which was about the lack of support for people in American society.
After the group, the instructor talked about primary and secondary sources. We may have a chance to work with primary sources at our next class.
Please bring your outlines to class so they can be checked in. Also, the reaction to speeches should be brought to class so the final grade for the symposium can be issued. The DVD recording must be made available to the instructor either on disk or uploaded to the internet.
