Cultural Communication and Love Medicine--April 16-19

Enjoy your Cultural Interview--DUE on MONDAY 4/19  in class.  Remember the Barna article as you concentrate on the other person and use your best listening to learn from them.  The recorder really helps so you can concentrate on listening.  Then turn to your writing and follow the assignment form carefully.  Here is the link to the video "Faces of America" on PBS.

Finish Reading Love Medicine by Louise Erdrich--Your second seminar paper--DUE on Wed. 4/21 for class seminar-- should take your "question" deeper or into the last pages of the book or explore another question that you found interesting after your fist seminar and as you finish reading this book.  Most of you are liking this complex novel and making connections to the themes in our class of VOICE-CULTURE-MEMORY-LANGUAGE-IDENTITY-COMMUNICATION-ROOTS!!

As I read the novel again, I know you may have some "small" or other question about the "setting/time/references" that may be puzzling you.  If you do, post a question into the comment section below--or bring it to class on Monday.  I will do my best to answer it.   Carol
