how to care about it all

WHOOPS! did you catch it? 
the syllabus has a mistake in it: I forgot to put Thursday's class this week into it! We will use Thursday as a catch up day -- everything we didn't get to so far in class, and everything you haven't read or done yet get a place on Thursday! Be sure to bring in a list of these very things to share: what we didn't get in class you want to bring back up, and what you did do to catch up! Fair game after Thursday to assume everyone is up and running!

1) As you come into the class today, immediately start working with others to figure out: 
• WHO WILL YOU PARTNER WITH FOR THE SEMESTER? 
BEFORE CLASS STARTS EVEN: Begin project #1 today with your partner: freewriting, brainstorming, googling, scheduling time together.

2) What is project 1? What do you need to know to plan for it? 
=descriptions of workshops fr syl: they find and read out loud
=What will you need to have read? Are you caught up on reading already? Use this week to catchup for the best job!

Tuesday 11 Sept – This is the book I always wanted to write 

Zandt, ch 4; • Davis ackn., intro, ch 1 (note that it is a lot better to read everything for the whole week together if possible, and then focus on each day for discussion preparation) 
WHO WILL YOU PARTNER WITH FOR THE SEMESTER? 

Some feminist philosophers talk about what they call “personal care-abouts” in knowledge making. What are Zandt’s and Davis’ personal care-abouts as they reveal them to us? How can you use this class for your personal care-abouts? How can you make the class projects fit into those care-abouts? How will you partner with others to support each other’s care-abouts? 

Begin project #1 today with your partner: freewriting, brainstorming, googling, scheduling time together.

Thursday 13 Sept – CATCH UP DAY!! 

• Bring in lists to share: what we should return to, and what you did to catch up now. 

NOTE! By the next class you should have read ALL OF ZANDT!

=let's think about economies of attention (65) and the issues of "flow" in an ecosystem view (67) 

=lottery to determine in which workshop you will do paper or poster. 

Have you carefully read the Good Advice handout

=freewriting  
=making time to share work, ideas, support
