Dude, a teacher is president!

So, we might do a bit of Obama. Just a taste to talk about his speech. Or even better..here.

Next, we have rough drafts of the expository speech. Let’s get 3 editors.

Editor 1: Look for proper set-ups for quotes, correct citation, and justifiable sources.

Editor 2: Look for clarity in understanding the current research and the think pieces made by experts.

Editor 3: Look for originality and creativity in the speculations and “What does it all mean?” sections.

Then, I’ll give you a bit of time to work.

Next, we’ll talk Google. In small groups, discuss what would happen if the Internet disappeared tomorrow.  Make a list of pros/cons. Also, each group should choose a specific quote that they thought made a good point or is a useful point of discussion.

Then, we talk about the article.  Each group will reveal their quote and the other groups will respond.

Finally, I’d like to take a shot at Digital Maoism in class.

HW:  Finish the Final Drafts. Start work on the presentations.
