Day 5

I was coming back from a family wedding on Monday, so I had a BB facilitated class. Here is what it entailed:

We won’t be meeting in person on Monday, October 11. Instead, we will have a “on-line class.” There are two parts to the class, which is focused on informational literacy. Here are the three tasks you have for Monday:
1. Take the OLLIE Tutorial and Test. Sign onto Blackboard and select the OLLIE Text button. Follow the prompts.
2. Find either a review of or journal article about John Edgar Wideman’s Brothers and Keepers, the book “Our Time” is excerpted from. Read this review or article.
3. Write a summary of the review or article and post it on the Discussion Board on our Blackboard site. As part of your summary you should include a full bibliographic citation using MLA. The summary itself should be “meaty” enough to give people who haven’t read the review/article a good sense of what it says. Finally, write a brief analysis explaining whether you agree with the writer’s take on Wideman and why or why not. Do you think your colleagues should read the piece you read? Why or why not?
