We went over the syllabus, which was posted online (link at left).
The instructor passed out the class projects and asked students to think about which two they would like to do. Students should do one prior to midterm and one after the midterm.
After reading the syllabus, we took a short break and then watched a DVD about Saul Alinksy, the founder of community organizing.The instructor told the class there would be questions that would be completed at the conclusion of the video. Students can refer to their notes to complete the questions.
We did paired introductions in the last 45" of class. We finished all of them but two students, who will give their intros at the next class.
Next class:
Order books and keep a copy of your order if you order online
Read through page 29 in Kush (One-Hour Activist)
Think about issues that we might take on as a cause for the class
Think about which projects you might like to do. Be prepared to report on what two projects you would like to do at the next class
