Health Comm
Wednesday
We watched the rest of "The Doctor."
Due to the fact that many students do not yet have their book, we will write on empathetic communication in "The Doctor " at our next class. We will meet at the classroom and then go to the lab. The instructor will prepare writing questions for students based on the movie. It might be helpful to do some background reading on this movie at imdb or read the Wiki entry on this movie.
Monday
Last week we learned about empathetic communication, one of the most important elements of communication in the medical field. This week we are watching the movie "The Doctor," in which a doctor finds he has cancer. We watched nearly 60" of the film in the first part of the class and will watch the final 63" in our next class. The instructor announced a writing assignment on empathetic communication. It will be one page and is due next Monday, Oct. 3.

Wed., Sept 28
Students turned in their Annotated Works Cited in MLA style. The instructor chose a few at random and we looked at them on the overhead document camera and critiqued them. Some students had chosen complex citations (example: the radio show that was an interview that was on PBS) and did them nearly correctly.
The instructor will look at the AWC and assign a point value which is added to the student's class participation points.
We ran out of time, so on Friday we will cover the poetry assignment and the working thesis statement.
To Do for Next Class:
Continue to research, acquiring sources for the paper. Add the sources to your Annotated Works Cited, even if you do not know if you are going to use them yet.
Think about what you might want your thesis to sound like.
Monday, Sept. 26
Students brought their Annotated Works Cited, which is 10 sources in annotated MLA form. The students critiqued and corrected each other's papers.
First the instructor went over format, which was followed by a closer look at the format of each citation. The model citation was shown on the overhead projector.
Student papers were returned; the assignment for the next class is to bring in the corrected Works Cited.

Students turned in their Annotated Works Cited in MLA style. The instructor chose a few at random and we looked at them on the overhead document camera and critiqued them. Some were nearly perfect, while others had mixed-up italics, oddball spacing, and other errors. The instructor will look at the AWC and assign a point value which is added to the student's class participation points.
Next the instructor introduced two items that are due at the next class on Friday, Sept. 30:
Go to poets.org and choose a form, a technique, a school, or a movement. Read the description and choose a poet from the article or through further research. This will be the topic for your multimedia presentation on poetry, and we will start presenting in about three weeks to a month. The presentation will consist of several papers, images, etc.
In your Lester book, look up in Ch. 1 what Lester has to say about the thesis statement. Write a working thesis statement and bring it to class. We will put it on a table, just like we did with the poetry selections.
