Oct 18

Read Kimmerer- 2 chapters

Please also read "The Last Snail: Loss, Hope, and Care for the Future"
(I WILL LEAVE COPIES OF THIS OUTSIDE MY OFFICE IF YOU PREFER TO READ ON PAPER)

For class discussion, I wish you to think and make notes about the 
(1) differences between the cultures that are depicted in these two excerpts
(2) similarities and differences in terms of what constitutes a being or life
(3) the idea of survival

This week, I will look at your writing. It will be graded on whether you have been doing it.. a few pages every week, reflecting on what you have been learning, challenged by, or thinking about.

People who went to St Louis also need to write at least 3 pages about this experience. 
everyone needs to be ready to present their serial work- their repetition series.

Some weeks ago I assigned the movie "Sun Come Up" online. One of your writings should be about this movie. https://siu.kanopy.com/video/sun-come

How many of you watched the movie? Please write me back as to whether you saw it or not. 

For people who sent me work, I will review it and write you before class. 

See you Friday in our normal classroom at the normal time 10-2. Please come on time. The final 90 minutes will be for lab time. 

Next week is our joint class with Dr Rebecca Zorach's class on Art Activism and Environment (from Northwestern U). I will hand out readings Friday and you will have a guest lecturer, Nick Smaligo.
