Tuesday, October 6th

Announcements:

  • SLC’s are next Tuesday. They are conditional based on your current academic standing and performance thus far. (You guys already know, right?)
  • There will be no online class meeting that day, but you will have time to work on stuff for class.
  • Last call for assignments to Jessica: By Wednesday, noon. None of this week's stuff will be included in the IC grade. Just through the Self-assessment and Process Reflection.

  • What questions do you all have still regarding SLC’s?


Today:

Finish work from yesterday? Due at midnight

Watch 13th (Netflix! Let me know if you have struggles accessing this.)

Film Analysis (Prepare to do this as a group or partners on Thursday.)



HONORS: Let’s talk about the next few weeks….

Podcasts: Meeting next Tuesday to discuss these two podcasts.

"Who won the debate?" Evaluative Essay:

First draft due October 18th

All of these debates are fair game:

  • Last Tuesday, Trump v Biden (good luck?)

  • Tomorrow’s VP debate between Pence and Harris

  • Next Thursday, POTUS debate (We think? This one might be postponed or modified in ways we haven’t seen before.)

  • Any historical one you would like to watch (Some famous ones: Nixon v Kennedy (1960), Carter v Reagan (1980), Bush v Gore (2000), Obama v McCain (2008))

  • John Stewart v Bill O’Reilly (2012): “The Rumble in the Air-conditioned Auditorium” (Satire, but also legit!)

  • Beto O’Rourke v Ted Cruz (2018)
