Hello All_

Brian Alvarez is going to lead this blog discussion.  You all know what to do after that.  Thanks, Brian.

I realize that in the craziness of last week, that I failed to initiate a post regarding the final reading installment from our first text.  So, this weekend, we need to catch up in that regard.  This post will be kicked off by Corey Rothermel and should be focused on the text ad visual content from Chapter 04.  Same drill applies: Corey, please have the initial post up by Friday, 5pm – everyone else, responde before we meet on Monday.  We’ll get this one caught up on over this weekend and then we’ll do the Tufte reading/response.

 

Thanks Corey, it’s all yours.

This reading response is for Chapter 03 of the text and will be led by RJ Paez. The discussion of Chapter 02 will be started by Ki Reynolds.  Each of you needs to respond to one of these two points.  The initial prompts should be posted bu 5pm on Friday.  Your responses are due before class on Wednesday of next week (since we have no class on Monday).  Keep in mind that also due on that Wednesday is all of your back work that you may be behind on, be it blog posts, written chapter responses, maps, posting of work to the wiki – whatever you may be missing needs to be done in the next week.  Hopefully, if you are missing anything, it is not much.

Thanks, RJ.  The stage is yours…

Okay, before we get to the copied and pasted intro telling you about Brian’s post, I need to take a second to once again remind you all that there is not enough discussion occurring on the blog.  Please understand that in order for you to really gain a more in-depth and personalized understanding of these points (not to mention their application), then you need to engage these ideas in vigorous critical discourse.  That is what this blog is all about.  So, please take these opportunities to really dig into these readings.  Keep in mind that this reading begins to introduce to us the opportunity to focus on the reading of maps and not just the reading of writing about maps.  You can discuss ideas presented through text or graphics.  Either way, let’s get into these things, since our time in class to do so is so limited.  Now…

This post is set up for Bryan Sablan to begin a discussion about the reading you all did for this past week.  As we discussed in class on Wednesday, Kyle is also leading a discussion on this reading.  You need to respond to at least one of them.

Thanks Bryan.  It’s all yours.
