Long weekend

Hope you have had a good and productive weekend. Some of you have already posted your "Research Process", where you are at and how you are feeling about your research so far....read each others mail and comment please! I have a few comments I will make myself.

Adrianne and I enjoyed our interviews with you so much that we only manage to interview half the class! We will continue with the other half on Monday..

Haven't received many e-mails yet with your drafts ( and it's Saturday night!). Hope to hear from you soon.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to all students who are celebrating today!!! All my best wishes to you and your family for an excellent year of the pig, I believe. I realized from Maggie's blog that today was the Chinese New Year...I knew it was sometime in February but I wasn't sure when.

Enjoy your new year day...and don't worry about the research paper you can catch up tomorrow(I'm only talking to those who are celebrating not to all of you).

See you tomorrow.

A short message

Hello dear students,

I must say that I am quite pleased with your work so far both in terms of your blogs, summaries, mid terms and yes even your research. Hopefully you will begin your drafts over this weekend...you can send them to me by e-mail u_lili@hotmail.com if you have finished by tomorrow afternoon...

In terms of blogging, please reflect on the mid term video and reading on population: what struck you as most interesting? Explain and comment on your classmates' work: you can use the following questions to help you think about the topic:

1. What trends allow you to feel optimistic about the future in terms of
population?


2. What trends could lead to a more pessimistic outcome?


3. What do you think should be done in the industrial world in terms of
population? In the emerging nations?



Also, Adrianne has posted something for you so please check her blog.

Have a good weekend all of you,

See you Monday,

Homework assignments - February 2,3,and 4th, 2007

Hi everyone,

I managed to find some time to post the assignments today.

1. Final version of written Book Reviews for Monday.

2. Look in encyclopedias for articles on your topic. Summarize one of the articles. This summary should be like an abstract (one paragraph linking the main ideas. Publish your summaries on your blog.

3. We will be beginning a new topic on Monday. The topic is "happiness". Freewrite(don't worry about grammar and spelling and organization. Just write your ideas on happiness in sentence form. Write whatever comes into your head and publish it.

Unfortunately, I did not bring the blog address list with me...so I can't publish or mail them to you. Therefore, you won't be able to comment on your classmates' blogs....keep checking my blog. Maybe I'll find a way. Perhaps, if you look at the comments on the blog, you might be able to connect to your classmate's blog. Or, does anyone have any other ideas?
