Since we've been working on our Dumbest Generation projects in our own little silos, I thought I'd give an overview of upcoming projects and due dates, especially since most of you are without your cell phones right now.
Watch Crash (2/15 and 2/16)and apply Steven Johnson's theory of multi threads of narratives (this will be a short daily essay response, much like your telescoping / probing papers, and I will include an example of a particularly effective one) due (2/20).
Have the article "Pearls Before Breakfast" read by Friday 2/17 and be ready to discuss it. There will be a short essay on the concept of beauty due shortly too (not certain about the due date yet. I'll let you have some input on that). This article is a lead in to our next theme, a definition essay which we will really get into next week.
Dumbest Generation projects will be due and presented on Monday (2/20). This will give some of you the weekend to finish it.
Cell phone hiatus journals will be due Wednesday (2/23).
Look at all that wonderful multi-tasking going on! Steven Johnson would be quite proud of you guys (as am I).
