I am not here today, but I have left legitimate work for you to do. I want you watch this lecture over Marxist Criticism and revise/edit the transcript into fully accessible sentences and paragraphs (you can find this file in Schoology). You can either listen to the lecture or just simply read the lecture to find the the pauses and breaks.

Why are we doing this? Because just taking notes or answering questions is passive. I want you to actively manipulate the text and words because it forces you to read in a different way.

We watched a video in Riley’s class today! A VIDEO! The first one of the term! It aws about peasants in the Middle Ages. It was funny, but in a weird sort of way. It had a peasant fart on a noble! And they had to boil eveything they are back then that came out of the ground because they used human excrement (poop) as fertilizer. Yum.

We answered the questions over the video in LMS, and Riley expressly said that she wasn’t taking late work on this. It was today or never, because she didn’t want people to have a cheat fest.

Then, we spent the rest of the day working on the quilt. On the name patches, each partnered answered the following questions under the flap:

1. What did I find interesting?

2. What would I like to learn more about?

3. What do I still have questions over?

4. Anything else Riley needs to know? Suggestions for improvement? What worked well?
