For December 10th

1.  Your 15-20 page ethnography is due.  Please bring a stapled, hard copy of the paper.   Make sure that your writing is clear and that you delve deep into your observations to reveal abstract, global meanings.  Make sure, too, that you include a bibliography and that you site your sources in the paper.
2.  You may be presenting a multimodal component.  Make sure that your multimodal piece is completed on the day you signed up to present it (either Tuesday or Thursday.)
3.  Make sure that your multimodal piece is digitally accessible.  This means I need to be able to access it from the internet.  If you paint or draw a piece, make sure to take a photo and email it to me.  If you have music, make sure that you send the link.  I recommend Flickr for photos.
4.  You are also required to briefly speak on your paper during class.  The presentation is completely informal and will most likely result in bonus points.  Make sure that you have a few ideas to speak about in class.

Due Tuesday, December 3rd

1.  Your final set of field notes will be due Tuesday.  Review the research modules and be prepared for quiz and discussion.
2.  For Thursday, you need to read this up to page 86 (first 19 pages.)  I recommend that you begin reading asap, given the length and depth of the article.  There will be a 40 point quiz over its contents.
3.  Your completed 15-20 page ethnography will be due next week, December 10th.  Make sure that you combine your field notes in a manner that is clear and organized.  Make sure that the paper extracts abstract ideas and pulls out deeper, more global meanings.   You are encouraged to turn in a multi-modal component for up to 50 points of extra credit.   If you choose this option, you need to present it to your peers during the final week of class.
