It’s over but the trip to the High Line and Hudson Yards. Instructions for rendezvous to follow.

Don’t forget to submit your takeaways from the conference; post to website.

I have done a preliminary grading: all but one student is in the “A” range. Excellent class, all of you. Well done.

A message from the organizers of Creative Inquiry Day 2019:

Creative Inquiry Day is just a week away, Thursday, May 9th, from 12:30-2:30 in the Main Gym. We are writing to remind you that the deadline for students to register and to upload their poster is Sunday, May 5th.

Please share these vital links with your students:

We look forward to celebrating your students’ work on May 9^th, and to seeing you there!

Happy Easter/Passover/Spring. Good class Tuesday. You have enough to present a first-class piece of work. Work hard after the holidays.

Please post the “up-to-the minute” draft of each project to the website by 6 pm Sunday, April 28 giving Julie, you all, and me the opportunity to go through each written presentation before witnessing the complete show on Tues, the 30th.

Please view the CUNYTV show on the High Line. Brief readings will be posted on the High Line on the website next week.

Greetings on this Spring day. Better tomorrow. Remember to sign up for the Futures Conference: https://eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/seminar4/registration/

Tuesday’s class: A run-through of your presentation as if it was May 4 or 5 — visual, spoken word, everything. Each presentation is 10 minutes. Julie, I and other class members will make comments/suggestions for another 10-15 minutes on each.

That’s approximately an hour and a half. After a 15 min break, a discussion of the Mannahatta reading (p. 10-31. 209-243). You should browse through the rest, particularly the pictures, maps, graphs, tables. We then watch Sanderson’s TED talk.

Closing with Muzzio’s Powerpoint on power and politics.

Registration is open! Have one of your group members sign up for a presentation slot here: https://eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/seminar4/registration/

Greetings. Enjoy this spring weekend. My wife is feeling much better (I’ll very briefly explain) and I am beginning catch up with my classes.

I’ve started reviewing the LWT presentations and photo postings. They are engaging, informative, well presented/written, provocative, with the visual elements and the narrative woven together. A learning experience for me.

Please carefully follow the directions in Julie’s announcement of March 26.

Thank you, Julie.

Lesson Plan: Class 9, April 2

An updated copy of the syllabus has been posted on the course info page. A link is also here.

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”
