We will be discussing, in class, what makes a good FinalProject. Browse some older class projects (again if you have, for the first time if you haven't). Also, come with some idea of what you might want to be working with. We will be discussing some strategies for moving through the construction of a FinalProject.
- Have another AIM chat with your peers in class. This time discuss more specific topics (now that you, hopefully, have a better idea of who you might like to work with). Begin to whittle down the general topics of interest in your cluster using some of the topics we've discussed today in class. Post a chat log to your blog (this means you're blog entries for the weekend can write themself!)

Read WiliamCarlosWilliams and write about it on your blog. Be sure to include what you think the poem is about, what you liked/disliked about it, and why you feel the way you do. Also, consider whether you think the poem is fit to be called a "poem" (or good, for that matter).

The Heart Sutra∞ is a sixth century Buddhist text designed to empty the reader's mind, allowing it to become still. In such stillness, thinking or contemplation can happen. How do the rhetorical strategies in the sutra - repetition, reversal - help to empty your mind even as it offers you content? What are some other ways in which language can be used to alter consciousness? How does altering consciousness differ from communication?
Try simply looking at the form of this ancient text, without seeking to understand its meaning. A very useful way to begin writing is from what Zen tradition calls "Beginner's Mind"∞ - a state of mind where you don't know anything∞, don't feel any remorse about not knowing, and can then begin to ask very simple questions.
This musical group from Mali seeks to alter consciousness∞. What strategies does it share with the Heart Sutra? What state of mind does it help induce in you as you listen?
