Thoughts and Improvements

After much consideration I have made some changes in our reading schedule.

I feel our discussions thus far have been productive but I am concerned with the lack of focus on the reading.
Perhaps Aldo Leopold’s A Sand County Almanac has been our all-natural sugar and Culture Jam and Collapse will be our spice.

I want to continue to hear your voices...

The next post will contain our new reading schedule, as well as a detailed schedule with the names of the discussion leaders for each week. “Open Slots” indicate a space for any of you who would like bonus points or if you missed a discussion.

I will now be providing a template for discussion leaders, which I will send to you in an email by the end of this week.

TAKE NOTICE:

• You must email me this template, filled out with your discussion questions and summary, by Monday @ 9PM, the evening prior to your lead.

Week Four: The Movie Powaqqatsi

Please reply with your thoughts and responses to the movie Powaqqatsi.

Also use this week's forum to post your ideas about your group project.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Its going to be a beautiful weekend,
