Hi Everyone,
I hope you're all staying warm on this cold weekend!
Just a reminder about this week's upcoming class. We'll be going to the library on Monday to meet with Elinor Appel, one of our librarians, to talk about research methods and support your group's efforts to find additional information about your project. Ultimately each group's researcher will be responsible for typing up and including in the project notebook an annotated bibliography, but you'll all participate in the research process (a good skill to learn and practice as an adult learner)!
Remember by next Friday (3/4), I want to hear from EACH group about your group's plans to address the swamp issue you've chosen. This means addressing the "surveying the current landscape" question (which means to decide on what data you are going to include -- both "soft" and "hard" data; who in your group is going to do what; and what deadlines you've established to stay on track).
We'll talk more this week about the project notebook, final presentation, and your individual paper, but for now, your group should be deep into the investigative process of learning as much as possible about your swamp issue and in particular whose voice is not usually included in this process (since these issues are usually addressed from a mechanistic perspective).
Please email me with any questions. In the meantime, enjoy Isaacs' chapters 10-13 and the completion of your 2nd essay (now due on Wednesday rather than Monday).
Take good care,
Jane
