If we're lucky, it will start snowing by the time we start class tomorrow. After I provide updates on a few important events from the headlines to get us focused, we'll move on to the main Senior Project topic of today: deep reading.
Mastermind Matt has assembled a great assignment along with accompanying resources to show you how to negotiate the meaning of a text as you go through it. Your assignment over the next 2 1/2 weeks will to learn and practice deep reading. We'll go over Matt's assignment and background info and watch the video he has put together to demonstrate what we're talking about. The due date for us on this assignment is Monday, March 16th.
After we finish this mini-lesson on deep reading, it's project time. This means you can work on senior project or work on True Wealth. Remember, you ideally are done with your research prior to Spring Break so you can start the writing process the week you're back. This means putting together and working through your list of sources.
You need at least 5 academic journals or books to pass your senior project. You should have additional sources, which can be academic or from websites, magazines, interviews, or other material
The next pass-fail graded assignment will be deep reading on March 16th.
Homework due Tuesday, March 3rd
Keep working on your True Wealth project.
