As you may have noticed, we have gone slightly off-track from the calendar. This Blog should serve to set re-state dates and keep us all on the same page.
Blogs
You have received feedback (if you posted by due dates) for Blogs 1-12
* you may still post 11-12 and I will look at them this weekend
I will be grading Blogs 13, 14, 15 over the weekend (so you have additional feedback on your research plan), and the topics are as follows:
Blog 13: Comment on the "real" first 5 minutes as you experienced them / observed them in your sessions today - versus what Newkirk suggests. Are his ideas realistic? Could you use them? WHich parts of his essay applied to your session?
Blog 14 Post questions/requests for clarification - or confirmations with respect to overall plan for the course, what is expected, etc.
Blog 15: Draft writing / planning for research proposal => most of you sent this in email (I will reply with your grade) and some of you have already posted it. I would like to make sure each of has had all the feedback you need (and the chance to see what your classmates are doing).
Blof 16 (due for Wednesday, Nov. 12): Post your complete research proposal with annotated bibliography.

Scheduling Tutoring Sessions
In class today you gave me a list of the hours you will go to CAS to take sessions. I have spoken to Jackie and you are now on the web site so students can sign up for those times. You will need to go to CAS to be available at those time. You are expected to tutor for a minimum of 5 sessions.
Hours are as follows
Nick + Kevin: Tuesday 12-4; Thursday 11- 2.
Camille: Thursday 5-8
Marie: Tuesday & Thursday 4-6; Monday & Wednesday 12-2
Stephanie: Tuesday 12-2:30; Wed 11:30-2; Thursday 12-12:30
Molly Wednesday 2-5; Friday 1-3
Vanessa 3:30-4:30; Tuesday 11-12; Thursday 11- 12;
Erin Fridays 9:30 - 12:30
If you do not intend to be present at CAS at these times, you need to contact me so your hours can be changed.
Sign up for conferences during Monday class time
For the next four weeks or so, Monday classes will be dedicated conference times where (if you do not have a tutoring session) I can work one-on-one with you on your project. I sent you a link to the sign-up sheet at google docs
What we will be doing next week:
Monday: in-class conferences + tutoring
Wednesday: Research plans + annotated bibliographies, posted on your blog.
In class each of you will give a short presentation so that your classmates can provide feedback.
Added note: For those of you who missed class, the sheet listing what to include in your portfolio posted on this site at Portfolio Requirements, and we discussed (and made copies of) student feedback sheets (page 135 in your text). Note on the Portfolio Requirements handout that you are required to collect a feedback sheet for the sessions you conduct & observe.
Have a good weekend.
