Just to get an idea out there...

On Monday, 11/30, we are scheduled to watch Al Gore's documentary film An Inconvenient Truth during the class's normal meeting time. This film will cut into a majority of the time we have to discuss the similarities and differences between the Moser and Thompson essay's that day. That being said, the essay from Seg 5 is due the following class period, Wed. 12/2.

As an alternative, I'd be willing to screen the film (at the same location in the library) that evening after your last class in James Hall at 4:55p; this would allow the entirety of the normal class period (@ 2:15p) to be devoted to a comparison/contrast discussion of Moser and Thompson. Also, we'd be able to finish the entire film (80+mins), rather then 50mins or so we otherwise see.

Indeed, this change would make the film session "optional", but I'd encourage all to come, as anything you see in the film and make note of could be cited as secondary support in your subsequent essay! Plus, I find the film to be particularly informative, offering a broader knowledge of the impact our modern lives have on the entire biosphere, and the time frame in which we as a species has to react.

So, I propose a vote.

Please reply to this post, with yea!, for the evening film screening or nay! to keep the screening during the normal class meeting time. (I would have said that we could just vote using the "claps and snarls", but there is the possibility of voting more than once this way...)
