Looking forward to next year and the new subjects to explore.
If i get your class...
which i should...better
Have a great summer
:)
Same here, mostly looking for something new to debate (heated discussion) about. Although I think we've covered alot and i'm actually wondering what else could be "uncovered" I believe its in your DNA to find dirt in a snowstorm
This is a good list for next year.
I think the units would have to be shorter so we can get to most of these, but i defiantly am looking forward to next year.
Friendship groups
Identity building
Drug use
Art maybe? In various forms, interpretations, meanings?
i look forward to once again being a smartass to your sarcastic comments and opinions next year. im particularily interested in the following topics picked off the list: Hidden messages of ads, Life is a big lie, touching and feelings, sleep, sports, and drug use. once again i look foward to your class next year. i AM going to be in your class, even if im assigned to copes. i WILL be in your class.
cindy - on the current vs of class lists you're scheduled for some funny comments in my class.
costuming - its role in subculture, individual expression, conformity to social norms
costuming as semiotics
tattoos, loud music, and perfume as additional costume elements - projecting an image
another unit - commodities - "how stuff works" and "pleasures and sorrows of work"
