Tuesday's Class (February 26 2008)

A marginally-sized multitude of events occurred in our latest class. Starting off was the handing out of a new assignment, the "Jam of the Day," in which each student would select a track out of their personal library to share and breakdown in front of the class. We listened to an example from the mid-nineties to get a better understanding. Next, we were chopped up into partners with each group holding an assigned topic (these topics came from the previous week's homework assignment). The groups were instructed to summarize the topic, come up with salient questions and make some sort of a graphic organizer. Class was closed out with the audio- analyzing of Don McLean's famous song, "American Pie," and its relation to the death of Buddy Holly. Peace.
