For those of us who will be here for the final quarter, in addition to the readings and writings for the Autobiography of Malcolm X and Nineteen Eighty-four (our next book) you will have one major homework project. This is a group project. We will figure out groups next week, but I want you to look at the options available to you know. Think about which projects interest you and which people you trust enough to work with.
Do NOT think you can slide through this assignment without helping. The grading is arranged in such away that although you work as a group, you are graded for your individual contributions. So you need to be prepared to pull your weight. (That said, you also can't just let people in your group drop out and do nothing. That's not going to fly either.)
Here is the website with your options: http://themedassignment.blogspot.com/. Currently there are 126 options, so you should be able to find something that interests you.
When you settle on one (not today), your group will have to find all the items on the list, read/watch all the items on the list, and prepare a presentation for June on what you've learned. I'll give you more details later. Right now just explore.
Due at the end of the block: Email me three bundles that look interesting to you and describe how much work you think each bundle might be.
(Note also that this is the last day to do wikiwork before grades go in.)
