Cultural Interview and Posting to the Blog

Greetings from a very cold and snowy New York,
Margot has already emailed me about what you all did at last night's class.  It sounds like a great learning experience!

Margot also said that there were some questions about the cultural interview.  Some of you were correct when you said that there are slightly different iterations of the assignment.  I did update the assignment and repost onto the website (and redistribute the assignment in class), but I thought I just strengthened the assignment for you and didn't change any real variables. I should have told you to throw out the earlier assignment.  My apologies.

So to be clear:
1) you are to set up an interview with one person in our class.

2) since Monday is a federal holiday (Martin Luther King day), I have asked you to post a synthesis of your interview experience on this blog.  This synthesis can be one paragraph in length covering the "gems" of your experience -- what you learned, what surprised you, etc.  I also asked you, if you can, to send me (jreis@sccd.ctc.edu) a pix of you and your interview partner so I can post the pictures on our blog. 

3) I'd love it if you all would spend a little time reading each other's postings because even though this assignment seems simplistic, I assure you that its focus on the practice of listening can have profound effects on each one of us.  We begin to learn that if we can only slow down and listen, we can learn a great deal about ourselves and each other.

4) Bring your whole paper on Wednesday of next week with two extra copies to share in class.

Any questions?  Again, my apologies if I confused you in any way.

See you all next week. And please, if you have ANY questions about this assignment, please email me at jreis@sccd.ctc.edu

Dialogue, Seminars and New Thoughts

Hi Everyone,
I thought before I left for New York (if I am still going -- massive snow storm in New York), I'd create a new blog posting site for everyone to share their thoughts about what's been interesting so far in our class.  For example, what has stood out for you as really important as you read the first four chapters of Isaacs book? What about what we've talked about in class -- the concept of power (Margot), listening skills (Jane), and dimensions of culture (Jane)? What about Machiavelli's book, The Prince? What are you thinking about as you complete your reading in preparation for tomorrow's seminar?

Also, an FYI:  don't forget to send me (jreis@sccd.ctc.edu) your photos of you and your interviewee.  I will post them on our blog site.  Should be fun!

I also wanted you to know that I posted a sample cultural interview paper on the web site.  Look for it in tomorrow's section.

Hopefully I will see you tomorrow night, but if not feel free to email me with any questions. My emails come to my phone so I'm easy to reach!
