Day two in the computer lab

.

I'm staying home sick today. The sub should take you to the lab to work. Here's what I want you to accomplish:

Figure out, for every item in your bundle, WHERE it will come from, WHO will find it, WHEN they will have it by. For instance, if Moby Dick and Great Expectations and Middlemarch and The Brothers Karamazov are in your bundle, you might say this:

Moby Dick, already put on hold in the library by Dave; he'll pick it up tomorrow after school.

Great Expectations, Suzy has it at her house. Already lying on her bed.

Middlemarch. Jimbo downloaded it off gutenberg.org last night. 

Brothers Karamazov: Dilly's picking up a copy at Barnes and Noble this weekend.

Post your list of who's doing what IN ONE COMMENT to this post. 

My expectation is that when I come back on Monday you will already be well entrenched into the discovery process.

Behold: http://themedassignment.blogspot.com/

For the rest of the year, this is what we'll be doing. I've signed this computer lab up for the entire week. It is ours. We don't have to be here every day, but we can be.

Your job today:

First, we need to decide: going it alone or working in groups of three?

Groups of three would be responsible for an entire bundle.

Individuals would be responsible for at least two books and the more quickly consumed media.

Whichever we decide, we will all be doing the same thing---either we're all groups of three or we're all singletons.

Today, send me an email (jepson[dot]mr[at]gmail[dot]com) voting either GROUP or INDIVIDUAL. I will tally and announce tomorrow.

You should also start looking at bundles, thinking about what you would like to do. Starting tomorrow in class, it will be first-come, first-served. The sooner you ask for your bundle, the sooner it is yours.

(I reserve the right to say no if you pick a bundle that is mostly things we've already read in class.)

Ask me if you have questions. I'm just sitting over there. Typing.
