March 25 (11:03 AM) - Hey, everyone! It's Mr. Maichen. I'm going to be posting updates here from now on, for the most part. My email is [email protected], if you need to contact me during these office hours. Expect an update later today.
March 25 (5:00 PM) - So here's the update I promised you, and your assignment for this online class session
Intro: In 1984 (the actual real-life year) Apple's Macintosh computer launched. To advertise it, they aired this ad without any context during the Superbowl. It only aired once, but is nonetheless considered one of the most effective television ads to ever be broadcast.
1: Watch the following youtube videos, in this order
2: . Answer ONE of the following questions as a Journal Entry (4-6 sentences) on Turnitin.com
3: Read Chapter 6 of 1984. No journal entry on the book itself right now, but stay up-to-date!
MARCH 28 - HERE IS YOUR CODE FOR GOOGLE CLASSROOM GUYS. PLEASE ENROLL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE - yvij2n3
March 30 - Hey, it's Mr. Maichen again. I heard that people are having trouble with Google Classroom. We're going to work on solving that problem. In the mean time, everything will be posted here. So, here's your next assignment:
1: Read Chapters 7-8 of 1984, and research "political disengagement." (Research might be a fancy term for "google search.")
2: Answer the following question in at least Two paragraphs (4-6 sentences each), using a quote from the book, and an outside example* of any source:
In what ways are the Proles similar to, or different from, modern-day people?
Because of Spring Break, this will be due Friday, April 3rd. 11:59 PM. On Wednesday, there will be a smaller assignment also due Friday. But I want you to focus on this for now.
*OUTSIDE EXAMPLE: You may have noticed a few weeks ago that I never defined "Post-Truth" for you. Some of you might have never heard the term before, and looked it up. That's the right call. If you are on this website, you have access to the most advanced information-gathering tools in human history. One of the things this book shows us is that the ability to find the answers for yourself should never be taken for granted.
Any "outside source" is acceptable. But make sure to quote it and provide a link to it within your journal entry. If you want, you can focus one paragraph on the book, and one paragraph on your outside source.
MARCH 30 - ATTENTION! WE ARE AWARE THE GOOGLE CLASSROOM ISN'T WORKING. WE ARE ADDRESSING THE SITUATION. FOR NOW USE THE WEBSITE ONLY FOR HOMEWORK AND CLASS INFORMATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING WITH THIS. IT WAS OUT OF OUR CONTROL.
