ALSO - check out this EXCITING CONTEST OPPORTUNITY:
I just learned about a contest sponsored by the US State Department. Unluckily the deadline is January 26th. Please take a look at the announcement below. If any of you students are into video I’m sure you could pull something together very quickly. It might be cool for the students who went to the student DID conference and experienced the dvc to come up with something.
Enter your 3-minute video about what "My Culture + Your Culture" means to you for a chance to win an international exchange program! The contest opened on December 1, 2008 and ends on January 26, 2009.
This contest is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs in partnership with Adobe Youth Voices.
U.S. Department of State seal “We are delighted to collaborate with the Adobe Foundation in this public-private partnership. Social networking and a branded Internet presence are an important digital complement to our traditional people-to-people exchanges,” said Assistant Secretary of State Goli Ameri. “By joining online communities to explore shared values, interests and experiences, people worldwide — especially youth — can become part of a grander exchange community to create international understanding and dialogue.”
Adobe Youth Voices Logo“Enabling young people to comment on the issues that matter to them, to their communities, and ultimately, to our world is a mission shared by the Adobe Foundation,” said Michelle Mann, executive director of the Adobe Foun. “By harnessing the power of technology, we are giving youth the tools to become thoughtful, informed and involved global citizens, which can teach them valuable skills for school, career and life.”

2)Legislator 'Report Card' due Monday, December 8 (see rubrik below)
Legislator Report Card
1) Select one or your own members of Congress (Senators or Representative) – or another national or state legislator.
2) Identify three criteria that you will use to evaluate that legislator’s effectiveness. Use topics from this chapter such as committee assignments, casework, getting reelected or other criteria you think are important (stand on the environment, homeland security, etc.).
3) Find information about what your selected legislator has done in each area. Consider starting your search on the legislator’s own Web site, or visit Congresspedia, which has useful information and links for every member of Congress.
4) Based on your research, design a report card and assign a letter grade for each item, along with supporting evidence – such as facts, statistics, or quotations – to justify the grade. Then give an overall grade for the legislator’s effectiveness, along with a summary explaining the grade.

HOLIDAY SONGS PROJECT
Students in their groups will write a politically-satirical version of a well-known holiday song, and then perform it on the Friday before Winter Break (December 19, 2008). A photocopy of each group’s song is due the Friday (December 12, 2008) before the performance so that I can run copies for the entire class.
Suggestions and considerations:
1.The song should include at least three verses (more, if the song is short or has lots of fa-la-la-las).
2.Since this day tends to attract students and faculty (I may invite other classes, administrators, teachers to attend) you might want to make an especially good effort. The room will be packed, and numerous cameras, will record the event. The pressure is on!
3.Try to incorporate material from the course and material from current political affairs into your song.
4.Props, signs, costumes, masks, musical instruments, and anything else (within reason) that you want to bring in are fine. Dancing is OK too!
5.Anyone and anything in government and politics can be fair game for your satire, so by all means, feel free to be funny and irreverent; in fact, that is what you are supposed to do. On the other hand, watch the profanity, and avoid vulgarity. Use good taste.
6.If you are unsure about the appropriateness of anything in your performance, be sure to check it out with me first.
