Interesting Ideas:

Podcasts (Although some of the following suggestions are particular to the podcast genre, other episodes can help with how to address the situation (audience, purpose, genre). Think of how you can transfer what you learn, by listening to an episode, to what you are trying to accomplish in the Intersections project.)

Extra Credit Opportunity
The FYRC Conference.
On April 25th, the FYRC will be taking place. ​
​
Extra credit: Although I don't necessarily take attendance for a grade, you attendance and participation in this course does effect how well you do overall. Also, when grading, I do consider the effort you put into the course. Therefore, now that we are wrapping up the semester, you can attend up to 2 session(s) to take care of up to 2 absence(s). Talk to me before you make this decision. Give me the FYRC evaluation form from the event and give this to me on April 29th.
