Schedule for next weekend:

• 12:00 - Lunch in the dining hall
• 1:00 - Curator's talk in the Lora Robins Gallery with David Hershey

Major Deliverables:

• Book Review on individual titles - rubric below. You should also be prepared to present a short (5-8 minute) "Book Talk" for your book, giving the thesis, high points and whether or not you think this is a book others should read.
• Rough Draft of your final research paper. Words on paper is the mantra for this one.
• How to Think – Chapter Six, Open and Shut - write your reading reflection on this.

I want your focus for this week to be on the paper and the Book Review, so I'm going to save any additional reading for in-class (if we have time).
