mike said...: Read my last essay and write your next blog post with what I have said in mind. Take the time--and I mean serious time--to do whatever you do with your next post CONSCIOUSLY with the aim of pushing yourself to write or shoot something really interesting. Just this once, don't settle for what is easy or comfortable.

For just once, try to go a bit beyond your comfort zone. There are no rules here, no right and wrong....There is only the usual old stuff and something that is (1) going to make me raise my left eyebrow in interest or intrigue me [good]; (2) make me laugh or gasp out of surprise[better]; or (3) make me shocked, moved, misty-eyed, horrified or unsettled because what you have done is so damned provocative and edgy [best].

And take a few minutes to comment on what other people have written to show your support for the work of your friends and classmates.; September 27, 2008 at 7:42 AM

Those who are presenting should be prepared for tomorrow's class. Also remember to return the CD's he lent you so that he is not in violation of US copyright laws.

You do not have to remove this comment, only if you want to. I am sorry, you are right I just looked at your blog and I see your Inner child right where you said it was. Did you get an A? Just checking because I think you did anyway. Sorry and I will be sure to let Mike know asap.:); October 16, 2008 at 8:20 PM

I opted for a larger size book with color photos and the price for 54 pages came out to about $25. I'll be able to show you the finished product when we get back from the creativity retreat, but for now, if you are interested, you can look at the first 15 pages at the site below:

Those of you who are planning to do a video (about 5 minutes in length) should start seriously thinking about what your concept will be, what scenes you need to shoot and with whom, and what music, etc. you will need to complete your film.

Remember to keep up with your blogging. We are down to the wire now, and this is not a good time to start slacking off. Try to dazzle me a bit with some of your final entries.; October 26, 2008 at 6:47 PM
mike said...: If you are coming on the retreat tomorrow, be sure to check Sr. Diane's list over to make sure that you have everything you need. If you are coming with me, be at my office by 9:30 (use the front door to enter Siena); if you are leaving on your own from LI, you should also try to leave by about 9:30am

Don't forget to bring your camera with you. We will have a bit of time to do some photography while we are up in the natural beauty of the retreat house.

If you are not coming on the retreat, try to get as much of the work that we assigned to you knocked off as you possibly can.

All of you should be sure to write as many interesting blog posts as you can. Be sure to have the total number of blog posts required completed by the end of the week and to start thinking of interesting ways to wrap up your blogs.

next week you will be assigned five students in the class whose blogs you will be assessing, so it is vital that by Wednesday, you have completed everything you are supposed to have done. I will be grading all blogs on Thursday, so you have a bit more time to get your act together if needed.; October 31, 2008 at 3:49 AM

Jillian:

You showed a great deal of spirit in writing these blogs and I great appreciate that. I also liekd the fact that you reworked some of your writing to make it better. Although at times your posts could have profited from a bit moer thoroughness, you more than made up for this with the total amount of blogs that you wrote.; November 12, 2008 at 8:10 AM
