To investigate dominant social practices, hidden in plain sight, that infuse/inflect/define our lives - especially those around food, illness & dying, birth, the care of the dead, and prom - so that we can live more wisely.

HW 1 - Intro Email

Please send me an email with the following questions copied into your email and answered. My email address was given out in class - its my first name and then the anarchy symbol and then the acronym of "undo the folded lie" dot net. Send it to me by Thursday at noon, please.

The first four questions are crucial - the rest will help me know you a bit better. Me knowing you a bit better might help me make the class better for you, but please feel free to write "Pass" to any question you don't want to answer.

1. Your first and last name.
2. Your phone number.
3. The name of the guardian/parent who most concerns herself with your education.
4. His/her email address (generally this person would only be contacted for something good - and if negative you'd have already been given a chance to take care of it yourself).
5. A favorite movie.
6. A favorite book.
7. A favorite song.
8. What you mostly did this summer or what you did this summer that was the best part.
9. Which of the following DON'T you have? Library card, computer, internet access, flash drive, notebook, pen, google account?
10. Something you do between school and sleeping that you feel good about (taking care of a sibling, working, learning guitar, etc.).
11. A goal you have for this course.
12. Something you think I should know in getting ready to teach the course this year - your particularly sharp skills (writing, video, singing, art, etc), or something you particularly struggle with (shy, hard-time maintaining motivation, hard time accomplishing work, etc) or something related to food, illness, death, birth, care of the dead, or prom (a relative who's a professional, a particular experience or interest), or someone in your section you'd absolutely not want to be paired with, etc. Write a sentence or a paragraph, up to you.
