Some announcements!
3 03 2008
If you missed class tonight, we talked about Restall, Chap. 5 — the “myth of miscommunication.” Speaking of miscommunication, technical problems kept us (again!) from recording the lecture but you can get the PowerPoint files on WebCT as usual.
Announcements:
1. Our next class (Wed. 3/5) will be all on WebCT. i’ll post a couple of webcasts instead of having class. We’ll continue with our regular schedule next Monday.
2. Speaking of Monday, that’s when we’ll pick which of the four test questions you need to write about. The test is due on the following Wednesday! You should be reviewing your class notes and thinking about all four questions.
3. We had our first discussion of the Boyer and Spurling book, Colonial Lives. Be sure to bring it to class with you from now on! We’re working on interpreting these primary sources for your paper on this book.
4. The Boyer and Spurling paper is due on Wed. March 30. It’s a five page paper in which you analyze one of the documents in the collection and explain what it tells us about colonial Latin America. This is why we’re discussing the book in class — so you can get better and better at interpreting these documents.
