Finishing up 448

Hi Everyone -
Here are thoughts about the final post and your final projects. Hopefully they will give you guidance and help you finish your work. Remember, everything is due by exam time at 7:45 a.m. This means all your blogs should be up, your blog post sheets (all 3 of them) should be turned into me during class.

Final Blog Ideas-these are things you could focus upon but you can choose to do what you want - you are an individual who has learned different things than others have!
Ideas: what you expected from the class and what you learned; reflections on one week or two in particular that highly impacted you; questions you are leaving the course with; issues of diversity that you feel you understand much better and will pursue in classrooms; areas you feel you still need to read about and discuss with others; and many more ideas...and feel free to cover more than one of these ideas in your final post.

Final Project - remember to post the following: your review of a professional resource, 3-5 critical reviews, and discussion of your set. Feel free to include photos, quotes, but don't forget citations.

I can't wait to see all you have learned through these two final assignments. It has been great learning about diverse issues with all of you!

Proposition 8

We have talked a little about Proposition 8 and how it relates to our course this upcoming week. I wanted to give you some links presenting both sides of the issues on Prop 8. Feel free to post your thoughts about what is occurring.
