After you have read each discussion assignment for the scheduled class session and are prepared to enter the forum, log on  between  noon Wednesday and noon Friday. Post your responses to the assignment, and to observations made by your classmates.

Initial forum discussions must be posted before midnight on Thursday to qualify for full credit. Initial posting after 10:00am on Friday will receive little to no credit depending on quality.

I recommend that you log on more than once during the forum session to view additional postings made by other forum members, and to add further responses. Each forum counts as a full class session and therefore full class credit, so you must put in the equivalent time and effort. Please note that these sessions do count towards class attendance.

I encourage you to actively engage in discussion with your classmates, but please think about what you are saying before you send a posting (use the preview option). Remember, this forum is not anonymous and you will have to sit in class with these folks every Tuesday.

Read pages 124-135, "Social Class and the Hidden Curriculum of Work." Use this forum to discuss the ideas of the "hidden curriculum" that Anyon writes about.

How does this reading and your own experiences in education (in K-12 and university) allow you to reflect on your own preparation for a place in socioeconomic society?

For Tuesday, April 27

Report #3 due. Don't try to wing it on this assignment. Re-read through the assignment prompt and heuristics carefully, look closely at peer comments from the draft workshop, and reveiw and make connections with the theories and discussions about "what is writing?" that we have engaged with all semester. Please bring an extra copy or two of your final paper, and remember to include copies of text sources you analysed for this project.

Also due: First Draft of the Final Project
