Cores 1-4:

- Revisit [Personal Curriculum.](http://yongesonne.edublogs.org/2007/02/13/a-personal-curriculum-post/)
- Write out on a half sheet of paper:  What you have done for your Personal Curriculum Project.
- What you still need to do in order to present.

Core 1:

- Take the [Internet as Utopia poll](http://utopia.nypl.org/I_meta_1a.shtml) as a class.
- Discuss the four chapters of [Utopian Art.](http://utopia.nypl.org/)

Core 2:

- Based upon what you have read and learn about industrialism, what are the roles that it creates for society (for men, for women, for businessmen, for workers, etc.)?
- Discuss the industrialism mood in the remaining excerpts from Life in the Iron Mills.
- What does our society (and the societies of the near future) value that is different from the values of industrialism.

Core 3:

- Continue to become an expert on your Digital Storytelling topic and start to look for the facts that would make for a good story.
- When you are done with your research and are fully satisfied that you have become an expert on your topic, show me your notes and I will ask you a few topic questions. If you can answer them correctly, you can go on to the storyboarding phase.
- Start storyboarding.

Core 4:

- You are always asking me how I find all of the things that I do on the web. Well, with so few of us in class today, I have decided to show you how.  I have become an aggregator, a great collector of information. I store it up in my cheeks like a squirrel. Del.icio.us is my main resource, and we really haven’t tapped fully into it. I would like to show you just how cool finding things can be.
