Social Advocacy What Happened in Class
Added 12:24 Tuesday: I thought students in this class might be interested in this student protest against funding cuts. The protest took place at Montclair High School.
Added 4:10 Wednesday: Who knew that one activist-type student working up a Facebook page to protest education cuts could have such an effect? The protest made the New York Times.
Added 10:05 Thursday: Record number of high school students are going to college. Why?
Students gave either their presentation speech or their committee speech. Next week we have around 10 speeches. Next week is the penultimate class. Thank you to Dariany for being the timekeeper.
The instructor went over how to address tickets and she explained why it is important for an activist to deal effectively with such complaints.
The instructor told students about a news show she saw on a prison activist. Unfortunately CBS has not put the clip up on their site, but she has requested they do so. If they respond, she will post the clip here. An in-depth 38-minute interview has been done by "Fresh Air" radio show host Terri Gross, however, and the instructor asked students to download the program to their iPods or listen to it on the computer. Link to the mp3, along with book excerpt and pictures.
Next week:
Prepare for 3-minute speech
Listen to mp3 and be prepared for discussion

Monday:
We met at Vaughn Eames Lab 113 to work on the illustrations for the print ad. Students brought their own illustrations, such as drawings or photographs. Images were scanned in or brought into the Macs in other ways. The instructor gave students an estimate of how to size the photo. She showed an estimating method based on page size. Students also saw how large a print resolution photo was.
At our next class we will have two student presentations (questions). We will also cover _____ (can't recall--will post it when I do).

Following are links to synopses of the play. If you have yet to see the play, you will want to wait to read them. In the words of one reviewer, it is "a play that’s impossible to describe without ruining its many intricate plot turns."
The purpose of providing the links is to free students from writing notes during the play. The articles at the links recount the chronology of events (see end of post for links).
I want to stress that the paper you are writing is not a review of the play. At its simplest, it can be a chronology of action in the play while the writer identifies points in the play that demonstrate the glossary terms.
The paper could also examine some aspect of the play, such as:

The paper could also examine some aspect of the play, such as:
- all three characters are "bottom-feeders"--people who show little in the way of ethics. With this thesis, the writer would recount examples of the characters' behavior that contributes toward this judgment
- a discussion of "authenticity, loyalty, and ethics"
- action figures as metaphor for the competitive world of publishing

Writing102 Saturday What Happened in Class
Students brought their papers to class with the transitions written in and highlighted.
We worked on the conclusion for the research paper. The instructor told students to go through the paper and make a brief note about what they had proven or the point they had made in each paragraph.
Students then were to compose the notes into a brief paragraph showing where they had taken the reader. After the notes, the students were asked to revisit their thesis statement and then make implications from their discussion of the topic. The conclusion can put the topic into perspective, such as in Aruna's paper, where she was able to view pillaging of artwork by the Nazis in context with what the British did with the artworks and cultural artifacts of India. Aruna was able to interview relatives who lived through this experience, thus her treatment of this topic brings originality to it.
Other implications in the conclusion can be to discuss areas where new research is needed. The conclusion can offer advice and discuss the topic's wider significance. It is ideal to include a quote from one of the paper's more prominent sources.
Students wrote their conclusions in the lab. We then discussed the funnel opening, which was accompanied by a worksheet and a video.
On May 1, we will have three poetry roundtables, including Sheleta discussing "The Carpenter's Complaint." Diana and Shelia will also host their roundtables.
Next week: we will be attending the play. No class in the a.m. Meet 15" before the play in the atrium, which is next to where the play is showing. Review the glossary before class. The instructor will return students' rough drafts before the play.
As stated above, students will receive their RD back on the night of the play, April 24. They will then revise the final version and bring it to the May 1 class. The instructor will return it at the final class on May 8.

Thursday
We worked in the lab today to write copy and start on the layout. The instructor worked directly with students in the conception of the ad and in writing the copy.
We were originally supposed to meet in a lab for Monday's class but because we need a lab with PowerPoint on the PCs, this has been delayed to Thursday, April 22. Instead we will meet in the classroom and learn about Google Adwords
The instructor advised that at some point she will ask students to write an explanation of why one cannot use web graphics in print production. The answer should show an understanding of the contents of the graphic file formats Powerpoint that we worked with over the past two classes. It should includes terms like "resolution," DPI, 72 pixels vs. 300, etc.
Next week:
Come prepared with illustrations (even if they are not 300 resolution). You will be sketching out your layout. In addition:
Some four-page copywriting assignments will be returned. A worksheet based on this assignment will be distributed.
Question presenter is Shalayma (others?)
Monday
We went over graphic file formats today. Despite difficulties getting the monitor to display the .ppt, we were able to get through much of the Powerpoint. This .ppt explained the various types of formats used in print and web production. It also explained resolution. We moved to the computer lab for this part of the class.
Note: I have checked out the availability of PhotoShop on the computers in CAS and it appears it is very limited. I am investigating the use of a lab at Vaughn Eames in the design department.
For next class:
Have copy written
Have an illustration in mind
Read Chapter, per reading schedule

Saturday 102 9-12 Noon
We worked with comma splices and the instructor showed ways to correct them. Students wrote samples of the different ways. Then the instructor showed a .ppt about how to use semicolon.
The instructor returned each student's research paper point and we put all three points together and began connecting them through the use of transitions. There were two handouts for this section of the class (list of transitions, connectives). We actually put the transitions in the paper--both within each point--but also from Point 1 to Point 2 and from Point 2 to Point 3. For next week the instructor asked students to bring in their papers with all corrections made and with the transitions highlighted.
Next week we will do the conclusion and the funnel opening.
There was a poetry roundtable where Milton presented Keats' "Ode To a Grecian Urn." We listened to the poetry put to music and we also observed urns that were brought up on the screen. We read the criticism of this poem, too.
The instructor gave the class the final assignment which was the drama assignment. We agreed to seeing the play at 8 p.m. on Apr. 24. We will not have class that morning. but instead meet at Cranford for the play that evening. The instructor will provide information on vouchers, which will allow the students to see the play for $5.
Students should read the links at left: the drama glossary, the two online documents about how to read a play, and the sample paper. The instructor will provide a chronology so students do not have to write the chronology during the play.

Marcel's poetry roundtable was on odes and he chose John Keats. We listened to an mp3 of the poem and then read Marcel's papers. We discussed the poem and students used their cell phones to look up some of the cruxes, such as "Hippocrene" and "dryad."
After the roundtable, students were given a worksheet about the funnel opening. The instructor went through the worksheet and then we watched a video that gave examples of the funnel opening statements going from general to specific.
