Class Fifteen
Begin this class by watching this video:
In-class journal:
How has your concept of work changed over the course of your life? In particular, you must identify three major phases in your understanding of work. (15 minutes.)
Group Discussion:
Talk about how one’s conception of class and an awareness of his or her own class may impact an understanding of work. What, if anything, does class have to do with work? (15 min)
Homework:
Complete first draft of paper two, three-page Toulmin argument (in spirit) for next class.
Paper Two prompt. At this point, you have read three stories, all of which touch on issues related to play and work, though in different ways. You job is to draft a paper that clearly articulates how and why specific scenes from these stories either relate or do not relate to your understanding of work as the concept can be related to concepts of class. This paper will, again, require that you develop good working definitions for your key terms, and then that you develop your argument and explanations through close readings of the stories in question.
