TODAY: Monday, October 17th, 2011

Before you leave today:
I will need a piece of paper with your group members and your topic on it.

Homework for Wednesday:
1. Begin research into your topic. Start with your textbook. Look at the work of particular designers as you decide which one you would like to focus on. Look at nuances and outcroppings of your movement in search of your interests, your hook into the information.

2. Look at your group-mates' postings of their projects. On Wednesday you will discuss their information designs with them. Point out what is interesting and successful, also point out problems. Each student must have a positive comment as well as a suggestion for improvement for each of their group members. The discussion will then move into ways the students can collaborate on their current topic.

Wednesday:
We will work as a group to research. We will first meet in the classroom for roll and then go to the library for research into our topics. Each student must come away with a minimum of one book related somehow to their topic. Students will then work together in their group to hone their topic and come up with a general plan of action to carry them into the second half of the semester.
