From Olivia: What's next?

Discussion
List: An entire reading semester of tricks/techniques
HMWK:
In your journal, make a list of ten interesting connections between texts (you’ll need this later) DON'T DO THIS

Change of Plans:
Find a photograph of yourself that demonstrates YOU in a SYSTEM. It can be from any moment in your life and can be a positive or negative system. But there must be clear details that you could point out, details that reveal the characteristics of the system, the effect such a system had on you as an INDIVIDUAL. Make a clear photocopy of it.

MONDAY DECEMBER 14:
Portfolios (with ripped out journal pages organized and stapled together) are due by 3 p.m. in my office (CLS/LHW-2084). If your work is not in my hand (no e-mailed copies) at this time, you will get a zero. I make absolutely no exceptions; I am serious.
