In-class Tuesday

To begin, I'd like you to write about two things in your workbook/journal for five or six minutes:

1. What norm would you most like to see our class abide by? (You can include two for three if you have more than one idea that's important to you.)
2. Now that you've heard everyone's basic ideas for our class proposed last week and done some significant work on your own groups ideas, what two or three priorities or ideas emerge as the most exciting or important to you?

Now get into groups of three or four and discuss what you wrote in your notebook. Try to distill all of your ideas into between two or three norms and between three and five priorities for class. Add those to the lists in the Working Doc for fifth period.

After everyone has added their ideas to the working doc, we'll listen to about ten minutes of a podcast with poet Eve Ewing that touches on the importance of Dystopian fiction. As you listen, jot down any ideas that Ewing mentions that seem important or significant to you (or that the hosts, Danez Smith and Franny Choi mention).
