I. Reminders and Announcements​
  1. Please note your next homework assignment.  There are no more reading assignments for the next 2 1/2 weeks after today since we move into ePortfolio/website design now.  
  2. Make sure that you bring any one essay/RR with you FULLY REVISED next class--- you do not need to read or write anything new.  Proofread and revise a piece that you have already written and come prepared for peers to read it!!! To see an example of what your writing should look like, click here

II. Midterm Reports
  1. ​Please make sure you understand your midterm report. You can expect another one like this at the end of the semester.
  2. If something is incorrect, please bring me the assignment that I missed and I will correct my gradebook. (I had a few papers with no name on them).
  3. I will return as much work back to you today as I can--- and on Monday.
  4. Your ePortfolio will keep your official scores now.  Go to your homepage, look for this class, and click on the gradebook.  Numbers will be input in the next 2 days (RRs are 3 points each so RR #1-12 comes to 36 points of the class).  Check back there throughout the semester.
  5. Extra credit points will be factored at the midterm/ePortfolio.
III. Note-Taking: Michael Kimmel & the Pop Culture Detective
  • Describe one stat that surprised/interested you. 
  • What do you think about what Kimmel is saying about young men today and why? 
  • What do you think of Kimmel and why? 
  • How does Kimmel compare to what you read today? 
  • How does Kimmel compare to the artifact you brought last class?
IV. Group Discussions
  1. Choose a facilitator for your small group.  It should NOT be someone who has already facilitated.  Step up to the plate, yall!
  2. The facilitator should make sure everyone shares.  As each person shares, ask to see who agrees and disagrees.
  3. The facilitators do not need to force agreement--- don't do that.  Just keep a running list on what folks agree on and what they disagree on to bring back to the whole class discussion.

V. Whole Class Discussion
What topics/issues did your group agree & disagree on?
