MONDAY 10/1

IC101
Today: We took the notes we made from our 2 brainstorming sessions last week and started to storyboard out Civic Engagement Project. We came up with 4 scenes (2 scenes for 2 separate issues).
Roommate Issues
Scene 1: Character arrives on campus and goes to his/her dorm room for the first time. He/she slowly opens the door and looks inside to find a mess. Loud music playing, both beds have clothes, food, etc. on them. There is no room to walk let alone move in. Camera shot of character closing the door and walking away. No interaction between roommates. In the resolution scene, the character comes back to the rooms to fins it cleaned up and a bed unoccupied for him/her. Dialog between roommates talking about living situation.

Scene 2: Character arrives on campus and begins orientation activities (get id, room keys, schedule). Minor problems/issues at each stop stressing him/her out. While in line character overhears 2 students talking about a party at Washington Dorm. Character looks at his/her piece of paper saying that is where he/she will be living. Character hopes it is not in his/her room. Character gets to the room to find it packed with people. As he/she looks around, the camera does a 360 faster and faster to create dizzying stress feeling. In the resolution scene, the present day Seniors explain how the "social" roommate although noisy at times did help the character get in a specific class.

Dealing With Homesick
Scene 1: Throughout the first day, the character keeps trying to call boyfriend/girlfriend but phone keeps cutting out. After a stressful day the character finally gets through only to find out how fun the boyfriend/girlfriend is having. After phone conversation character is stressed/lonely. As he/she lays down he/she gets a text message. It is from boyfriend/girlfriend and says "I miss You." With a smile on his/her face, character turns out the light and goes to sleep.

Scene 2: Character misses family. Misses Mom's cooking and watching sports with Dad. Having a hard time connecting on the phone, keeps getting answering machine. Resolution scene takes place on Parent's Day. All go out to dinner together for a meal other than from the cafeteria.

Homework: For Wednesday please read the AAC& U Statement and the TeaCh Goals in the Common Reader Unit 4. You are to also complete 3 Cups of Tea Question #2.

IC212
Today: We watched an introduction clip from The Corporation. We saw how Corporations began, how they have evolved, and what their "purpose" is. As you watch the video, and read the book, think about the following:
1) How would you define a Corporation?
2) Should Corporations serve a purpose past satisfying shareholder wealth (profit)?

Homework: Begin reading Chapter 1 for next week. We will continue with the video on Wednesday.
