Odds and Ends & Race

As we prepare for our trip around the world, there are a few issues to discuss. I'll be lumping these things together in class. 1. Technology (we've discussed this a bit, but here's the rest of it) 2. Gender (we'll continue to discuss this throughout the world) 3. Race (Race is really part of a larger idea concerning culture...that's what this course is about.) HOMEWORK: Please read Song of Solomon . Prepare to complete this novel by the time you return from the winter break. Take one of the ideas you wrote about today and flesh it out into an essay, poem, short story, play, comic strip, graphic-design poster, memoir, film, zine, etc.
