More Important Information!!

STOP! If you haven't seen the video assignment I posted on Tuesday, continue scrolling down past this post and read that one first!

For next week, we only meet on Tuesday and we will meet in the Library, on the first floor by the reference desk. Wendy, the INQ librarian will facilitate a program for us on how to use the library resources. Our research focus will be the concept of "autonomy," the last concept we are studying in this course. At the end of the program, Wendy will ask you to complete a piece of writing based on the research, and that writing will be the one and only blog post due next week. There will be no campus safari due and no second blog post. Then we are off on Thursday for Thanksgiving.

The following week, on Tuesday we will finish The Creative Habit and read "Why Inspiration Matters." Please bring your notes/definitions on the key terms and questions presented today in class. On Thursday of that week, your videos are due and I hope to watch some in class. For blogging that week, one post should be your video and reflection (technically can be posted sometime Thursday) and the other post should be a final post about Twyla Tharp's book: based on the book/discussions, what can we gain from Tharp's perspective? Specifically, how do we define creativity, why is it important, how can we incorporate it more into our lives or even teach it, and why should we attempt that (individually and societally)?

My next post (maybe this weekend) will contain the final video or blog post assignment, so you can get a jump on the work due at the end of the semester.
