How to handle the "movie" report

SOMEONE who watched a "partnership" film asked ... "What next?  What do I do?"  I reply:   TELL US who is in the partnership, then offer 4 bullet points abt this partnership – Your pts. might be about:

• Is one “on top” and the other “the follower?”
• Do they maintain their positions throughout or maybe they change?  Maybe they even ... reverse!
• Do their positions “go with” traditional hierarchy, e.g., elder in command, man in command, richer person in command, hipper person in command – or the reverse
• At moments of crisis (e.g., plot points) – how do we SEE this, specifically

Routine for binders in Library

2 binders of papers will go on reserve in the Library.  Author "Alias"

This week:  select two papers that intrigue you:  Write two letters back to two authors. Letters can be single spaced. Dear Alias, and Sincerely, Your actual name. 

--> Make three copies of the letters and insert in all three binders right after the papers to which they respond.  You might have to "disturb" a fellow student reading a binder to insert your reply.  That's ok.  Do it.  These are due by Monday 7/28 8PM so that all paper writers can SEE them by Tuesday.   Most letters will be just one page long, and they can be single spaced.

--> Email a copy of the letters to Tabor by Monday 7/28 by 8PM  <-- important!
OWL Alert:  may I email you my letters to print out and insert in binders?

ALSO:  write ME a letter about reading the papers and writing letters.  Include this with the copies of the letters.  Tell me:
how many papers did you read
how did you pick 'em
did they seem to vary a lot in quality and substance
and
what was it like to read the papers YOU received?

Reading and Writing Weeks 3 and 4

NEW WAY TO SAY IT:  One student wrote that she was lost and could I help.  I replied: Tomorrow we are going to discuss the “big” question of do we have free will. You read two brief articles on it (links were on the blog) Last week we took a very “macro” view of human evolution, looking back 100s of 1000s of years to see how we advanced as a species.  When we look at the “macro” perspective, it seems that we ‘advance’ from ‘survival of the fittest.’ What does that say about whether or not we “have” free will? You will form an essay of at least 3 paragraphs:  Beginning, Middle, End:  1-2-or even 3 pages. REMEMBER TO BRING TWO COPIES, one with ONLY the “alias” name

When you contemplate homo sapiens from a distance and gain an appreciation for some key evolutionary shifts in our species, what does that "do" to your concept of freedom? How does "survival of the fittest" fit with freedom and constraint? You might select one or two key shifts to make your point - or you might try for a general picture.

Give it a compelling title and double space.    It might be 1-2-3 pages long.

Make 2 copies, one with name and alias; one with only alias.  Due July 23

READ THESE two items on "do we have free will".  Take notes:

1. Is free-will-an-illusion? short. Here it is, MARKED UP http://marker.to/geW3Au 
     and p. 2:  http://marker.to/v3NFcp

2. Free Will is an illusion - so what? short.  Here it is, MARKED UP http://marker.to/CuTRid

 Take Notes!  type 3 key points (bullets) from each link; bring to class for discussion.

FREEDOM IS A SPIRITUAL STATE OF MIND

Before we go - here's some freedom, yes?

Are you free?

if you are, is everyone?
if you are not, is anyone?
how do you know?
is it something in the distant past?
is it a possibility in the future?
what is freedom?
