Welcome to your blog site for American Indian literature. We will use this blog as a virtual extension of our class space. You will all be added as authors to the site so you will have full access to post on the blog. Although I may occasionally chime in, this blog is primarily a space for collaboration with your peers.
This site has been created in order to
- · Extend learning opportunities beyond the confines of the scheduled class time and space, blurring rigid barriers between academic, campus, and community discourses
- · Provide a space for those less easy with speaking in class to have the time to process ideas and contribute to the ongoing discussions of the course
- · Encourage a habit of writing as a collaborative act of communication and dialogue in which students may discuss writing notes, brainstorm papers, plan projects, ask questions, get feedback on rough drafts etc…
- · Provide a place where visual mediums such as photos, videos, diagrams may be easily shared as well as hyper-text and web links
- · Expose students to alternative viewpoints and experience among peers as well as the opportunity to see how other students are working with and making connections with the course materials
- · Encourage students to form relationships built around academic work
Please be aware, I will not post course information such as reading schedules,assignment descriptions, due dates, or the syllabus on this site- Please refer to Google Drive for this ongoing course information.
