january 23

JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "A Boy Named Sue" by Johnny Cash; "Who Am I (What's My Name?) by Snoop Dogg/slightly abridged]

If you could change your name, what name would you choose?  How might your new name describe you differently, or even change you?  Be sure to explain your answers.

AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Company wo/man and the changing role of work in life
3. Refining your semester project and next steps

HW:
1. Please be sure to post your vocab definitions/usage/remix by COB tomorrow (Friday, January 24)
2. Reminder: lit analysis #1 due next Friday (January 31)
3. Find three acknowledged experts/high performers in your field and take notes on how they tell their stories, share information, and establish/maintain their online brands.

[UPDATE: Thanks to Maria for letting me know the vocabulary list hadn't published-- it's up now, and the definitions/usage/remix is still due on your blog by COB tomorrow.  However, I will review the words with you in class on Monday to prepare for the quiz, which I will give an extra day and present on Tuesday.]

    1. DOH! Thanks Maria, it was stuck in drafts. Will publish in next couple minutes. We're going to do this old school-- it's still due tomorrow. (Wow, can't believe NO ONE MENTIONED THIS BEFORE... :)

  2. I should have checked the blog yesterday... Since this post didn't specify "VOCAB: SPRING 3" and we haven't even been quizzed on VOCAB:SPRING 2 yet, I just assumed that this was merely a reminder for those who didn't complete the previous list or something. Just now seeing the new list...

    1. Since this was a short week, and I had to attend two all-day meetings, and you all are in the middle of envisioning masterpieces, I didn't think a quiz was the best use of our limited time. Having said that, though, sometimes quizzes give a real sense of how well you've learned-- I will look into using an online platform so you can test yourself (& use it to practice in future). In the meantime, we will review the words in class next week. And rest assured, they'll all be eligible for the midterm. :)

  3. Just reviewed the comments to this post and noticed that I ended both of mine with an emoticon usually associated with people about 20 years younger than me (sigh). Since my grandmother likes to think everything comes in threes, :)
