Book Discussion #2 (pg. 65-231): Choose one element from the reading (a quote, bit of advice, topic) you responded to positively and one you responded to negatively. Be prepared to share them with the class as a discussion starter.

Th, Oct 2:

Bring in your personal timeline. It should contain at least 15-25 items, but hopefully will contain more. It can be your personal history measured by one specific detail (all the books you’ve read, all the films you’ve seen that were meaningful, every trip you ever took, every cavity you’ve ever had), or it can be a general timeline of the events of your life. We will begin work on our collective timeline.

T, Oct 7:

Time Line Progress & Mandatory Progress Report: Bring your work to class. You will share your progress as well as your proposal with the class in an informal setting. No preparatory images; work should be well underway on the project itself (this falls 22 days after the beginning of work period #2).
