Class updates for Doug’s absence – assignments + due dates

Here are the changes to the class plan that we went over today:

1. Please post your revised project reports–incorporating my suggestions about the content/organization–on the website by Friday Sunday, 5pm. Use the category “Revised project”
2. Doug will prepare a new syllabus/lesson plan tonight or early tomorrow
3. Doug will review your photo-journalism and other postings on website by next class
4. All the assigned LWT’s from this week and next will begin next class, which will be a mash-up.
5. Do the following assignments related to the Cohen reading (Doug added one more blogging task, see Part B):
   1. In each of three areas covered in Sustainable Cities – Chapter 6 (waste management), 7 (mass and personal transportation), 9 (parks, open space, green city)—choose one city + one sustainability and/or resiliency effort that could be adopted/adapted by New York City. Why? How?
      1. Create mini-presentations for your response: ~5-8 slides each, with a maximum of 200 words and 1 or more supporting visuals. You should consult outside sources and cite them, including for all graphics you use. The point is to practice creating good presentations (minimal text, purposeful visuals, proper labels and attribution, etc.)
      2. Post links to your slides by next class, use the category “Cohen mini-presentations”
   2. In a tweet-length response, what did you learn from reading Sustainable Cities, that is, any takeaways? 280 characters max. Post by next class, use the category “Cohen takeaways”
