Welcome, Summer Session II students!

Welcome to American Studies 10 at UC Davis.

This class blog will serve as a place where we can express ourselves at a slower and perhaps more thoughtful pace than we do in class. It also allows you, the students, to make the course your own by sharing websites, video, audio, and whatever else you discover that's relevant to the course. You may post at any time, but there will be five required posts (also called entries) in response to prompts I assign.

It is your responsibility to participate in the class blog by completing these assignments and by commenting on others' posts. Your required five entries constitute a portion of your grade. Your comments and any additional entries contribute to your class participation grade. Quality of blog participation counts more than quantity.

I also post my lecture images here so that you may have easy access to them.

This blog is a place to have respectful differences of opinion. Students who fail to be civil to other users of this blog will be removed from blog participation, which will, of course, hurt their participation grade.

I look forward to sharing this little corner of cyberspace with you!
