Just wanted to let you all know that I am here.  Class will meet at 2:30 as usual.  See you then!

The readings due for next week are Roediger 6 and pages 30-36 of Beeman et al.  We will watch the film on Monday and discuss the readings on Wednesday.  Check the presentation sign up sheet to see who your partner is.  You will need to work together on the presentation, but each person is graded individually on how they deliver the material and the examples they use to illustrate the concepts.  The idea is to come up with creative ways to communicate the key points and concepts the author discusses.  Some points may only require a simple PowerPoint with important definitions and/or notes.  Others points can be illustrated through the use of images, film clips, or other materials.  You can decide amongst yourselves how you want to divide the material.  Email me if you have questions.

Remember to post your introductions by Wednesday along with a photo of yourself.   Here are some questions:  Where did you grow up?  What brought you to Baruch?  What are you studying?  What do you really want to do in life?  Remember, that doesn’t have to correlate with your major.  What do you hope to learn from this course?
