Cancelled: office hours for today

Hello all,

   I apologize, but I can't make it to physical office hours today. My wife suprised me with a mini-cruise for our 5th anniversary (which was yesterday). Thus, I will be out cruising the Bay until 4pm; and, after that we're heading to dinner. So, to make up for this time, I  will hold office hours tomorrow: most likely, I will hold office hours, on campus, from 2:00-6:00pm. If this window changes, I will be sure to update the blog.

I need to know who is taking the unit of field study ASAP

Hello all,
   If you plan on taking the one unit field study credit, please email me to let me know and include the amount of hours that you've completed as well. Thanks. By the way, great job on the presentations today!

Readings to focus on for the case study assignment

Hello all,
   Here is a list of readings that will, in my opinion, help you construct your case study. Some articles like Hull & Rose's "Wooden Shack Place", for example, and Mahiri & Sablo's work as well as the Lee piece provide exemplars of ethnographic case-study papers. Other articles, like Vygotsky's and Scribner's (respective) works offer theoretical lenses, which can be used as conceptual and/or theoretical frames for this assignment.

So, again, in my opinion, you should review the following articles for the case study assignment:

Hull & Rose, "Wooden Shack..."
Mahiri & Sablo, "Writing for their lives..."
Lee, "Beyond the model..."
Scribner, "Literacy in three metaphors..."
Vygotsky, "The prehistory..."

Remember, there are a few examples of case studies interspersed throughout the reader; and, I included the ethnography that I covered in class (my own) in the course-wide dropbox.

MWF group (final presentation), please email me your groups ASAP.

URGENT: Here are the final presentation groups that I have thus far (TTH group only):

If you do not see your name, you need to one of two things (or in some cases both): firstly, if you have not already done so, join a group; and, secondly, once you have joined a group (or if you already have a group but have yet to email me with memebers' names), please do so right away.

The people for whom I have yet to receive an email are: Preunky, Nicolas, Jisu, Donna, Andre, Tiffany, Helen, and Glen.

*The final presentations will take place, for the TTH group, this Thursday, August 11th. Each group will have 12 minutes to present. The assignment sheet is in the dropbox, should you need further clarification on the assignment.*
