Dressing For Success

For tomorrow's Career Fair Field trip, the Freshman dress code is Business Professional / Business Casual.

Here are some links to resources that explain this manner of outfit choices:


Remember, as a caution: Do not feel pressure to "choose" one of these exact outfits, as if these were menus. Instead, use the examples and guidelines to inform your choices as you get ready for the trip tomorrow.

Scottsboro Boys: Part 2

Today, students continued their study of The Scottsboro boys with a further historical video clip.

For those few classes in which we were unable to finish the last couple minutes of the documentary, here is a link to the YouTube playlist with the clips of the film:



And because this material is available online, I have no qualms about saying:

HW:
  • Finish watching Scottsboro: An American Tragedy video clips
  • Complete the American Tragedy question document.
  • New Membean Session: 10/10-10/23
    • 90 total minutes of study
    • 6 different days of study

Scottsboro Boys: Part 1

In order to lay a strong historical foundation beneath our upcoming reading of TKAM, classes today observed a video clip from PBS' Scottsboro: An American Tragedy (2000).

While watching the film, students took notes on the Scottsboro: An American Tragedy Notes Sheet (.pdf)

The document does not need to be completed for HW. It should be brought back to class tomorrow to use while watching the 2nd part of the film clip.
