The schedule (in the near future)

Going forward, here's our plan for the near future:

by Saturday: one person from each group must email me with your progress on your project, your plans for the weekend, and the current state of your plans for Wednesday.

Monday, 10/24: NO PRESENTATIONS. THE SCHEDULE ON THE SYLLABUS IS NO LONGER VALID. Continue to work in and outside of class on your "project launch" on Wednesday. Consider creating "buzz" among your friends about what you're going to do. Keep it a little mysterious!

Wednesday, 10/26: Class today is devoted to launching your projects AT BHCC! Cupcakes, generosity cards, reality experiments, etc. We'll gather at the usual classroom at 2:30, leave to launch the projects by 2:45, and reconvene no later than 3:30 to report on what we learned.

Create "buzz" after the fact on social media--conversations and Facebook status updates alike.

Send me an email (one PER PERSON, not one per group) reflecting on your project's launch no later than Friday, 10/28. What was it like--describe it in detail, since I won't be able to see every moment of everyone's launch! What did you learn? What will you do differently next time?

Bring your projects to the larger world. Cupcakes, coasters, generosity cards (and map), subway reality experiments, etc.

Monday, 10/31: Class today is devoted to continuing work on your projects.
(And, you know, come in costume? Maybe?)

Wednesday, 11/2: Class today is devoted to learning about making awesome presentations of your projects in advance of...

Monday, 11/7: PRESENTATION DAY. Each group gets 10 minutes to show a MULTIMEDIA presentation of what they did. There should be: talking and photos or video for EVERY SINGLE GROUP. Watch TED talks (no, not the movement one AGAIN!) for inspiration--this is the style of the talk you'll be giving. Invite your friends and family.

Wednesday, 11/9: Debriefs with me! Submit your peer grading sheets today!

Monday, 11/14: We begin political philosophy--the second project! And now that you have STUFF for it, we learn about the portfolio! Whew!
