New post

Okay, so I'm still a bit under the weather (my weekend included something like twenty hours in bed watching South Park episodes and sleeping), but I've gone back and updated the calendar with the events/timeline we discussed on Friday. To recap,

Each week for the rest of the semester will, for the most part, follow the same format:

Mondays will be discussion days in the classroom, looking at (in parallel ways) the readings and our field work from the previous week. What are the links you're noticing, and in what ways can those links be made visible in your writings? This week for example, we'll look at Calvino and Ponge (again), in the context of our time spent in Cal Anderson and Tashkent Parks.

Wednesdays will most likely be field work of some sort, providing the framework for that week's writings. This week, we'll meet at MCC, then out to some nearby greenspaces.

Fridays (and keep in mind this is all a pretty delicate balancing act) will most likely be spent both in the field AND the classroom. It's a long enough span for us to discuss some texts, be outside the classroom, and look at developing your works as writers! Although this week we meet at MCC, then go to the Federal Courthouse, meeting with the GSA representative at 2pm.

The calendar is your friend.
