The First Blog Assignment

You are about to leave for another culture (you may specify the one you are going to or would like to go to) for a stay of at least 6 months.

What do you think that you’ll need to take and why?

What do you think will sustain you while you are there – here you may think of favorite books or other items as well as certain psychological capacities.

Do you think that the things that you like will be translatable or understandable in this new culture?

Feel free to post before the first class.

To Post Here

This semester, we'll be trying to establish a class 'discourse' by creating a class blog. I'd like you to interact with each other and respond to each other's posts when appropriate.

Hopefully....it will be fun too.

First, I'll need to invite you to the blog.

Next, you'll have to log in through blogger.
After you've done this, your email address should appear in the top right corner of this page, along w/ the option to make a "new post."

When you've created a new post, click "publish post" and check to make sure it's up.

Make sure that you publish your posts.
