Tuesday 1/18/11: We started off class with Heather and Chao reading the first logs. Then we had a little refresher course on ethos, pathos, logos, and kairos. McArdle showed a video clip from Glengarry Glen Ross and discussed how ethos, pathos, logos, and kairos were used within the clip. I never knew how much Alec Baldwin liked to say the 'F' word. McArdle once again mentioned how great his hair is, but little did he know, it wasn't up to snuff. The class told him he had better get the hairspray out of his bag to fix it up. After sharing a laugh, McArdle then started discussing the National Gaze. He split us into small groups where we had to come up with ten things that were most important to us. Most people in the groups shared friends, family, and education as being the most important. He told us we had a pick a third world country to write our papers on and email it to him to approve. Then we were able to leave.. Sweet.
Thursday 1/20/11: The whole class met at the library. Once everyone arrived, McArdle led us all down the spiral stairs to a room full of computers. Eric Fisher spent the class period showing us how to utilize the library's resources to do research for our papers. After he was done, there was some extra time to start researching our countries. McArdle further explained the requirements for the paper to clear up the confusion we were having. That's pretty much it.
