\nSubmit the PDF of Immaterial labor with your margin notes<\/a> on Canvas.<\/p>\n

Assessment:
\n<\/strong>I will ask a random student an open-ended question regarding the assigned texts. If they answer in a way that shows they\u2019ve read the text, they are \u201cchecked\u201d and don\u2019t have to answer any more questions. If they don\u2019t, somebody else can volunteer. Repeat until they are all \u201cchecked\u201d or I run out of questions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nFishbowl discussion: there are 2 chairs in the middle of the classroom, the entire class forms a circle around them. The class will have a discussion, but students can only speak if they are sitting in one of the four chairs in the middle. Everyone outside of the chairs must listen.
\nIf a student wants to join the discussion, they can tap a student\u2019s shoulder sitting in a chair, and as soon as that student is finished speaking, they must vacate the chair and let in the newcomer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
