On your running document for Warm Up's, respond to the following:

Write out a GSD list of everything you have to get done. This can be for your school work and any other obligations you have.

Jot down EVERYTHING you have to do for the coming week or so!

What do you have to get done for your next assignment?
- Be specific...don't just say "study." Study what?
Personal things?
- phone calls you need to make?
- appointments you need to make?
- hang out with family/friends? Or just calling family/friends to see how they are doing?
- cleaning your house/room?
- laundry?
- emails?
- meal planning? cooking dinner?
- anything you know needs to get done or that you would feel much better if you did.
What about for other classes?

Pull out your Intersections mind map! I want to see these...

Work on revising/adding to the mind map.
Work on the Discovery Log for this week. If you have already done the one for this week, do you need to revise, add, edit? If not, there is a prompt for next week already posted!
You can definitely use primary sources for your research!
Be sure that you have your mind map as a tool to help you revise and edit your 1st Genre planning. Although we are focused on the 2nd Genre: FYS right not, the 1st Genre still needs attention! We will need to start drafting the 1st Genre at some point soon...

Here are some things to be aware of:

you have a draft of the presentation slides due on Monday...
- what progress has your group made?
be sure that you are getting things done for the presentation slides and the trifold board
be sure that you are aware that you need to PRACTICE the presentation as a group
- which means set aside a time to do this!
for the images on the presentation slides and perhaps the trifold board, can you find any that are primary sources?

A). Looking Ahead

B) If you need help, please come by and see me during student hours!
