Blog Post #13 - Home Stretch!




I know you are all stressed and have a ton to do, so for the final blog of the year, I'll take it easy on you.

Post #1 - Find an article, video, or something online relating to our class in some way and post the link. Provide a brief description and talk about why you chose it. It could be a video from a TV Show, a news article about Deaf people or something you think needs to be looked at and changed based on what we have been learning - anything as long as it is relevant.

Post #2 - Choose two (2) of your classmates posts and provide a paragraph or so on each with your comments and what you thought of what they posted. What did you like? What didn't you like? Etc, etc.

Your post and comments are due before class starts, Thursday, July 12.

Blog Post #12 - Fourth of July











Happy Fourth of July! Have fun, hydrate (as Monica would say), and enjoy the long weekend.

There is no blog for this time. The next blog will be posted on Monday, as usual.

Remember to work on your workshop this weekend. It is due on the last day of class, July 12.

Be on the lookout for emails from me concerning study sessions for the final.
