Your Secret Sharer?

Hi, everyone! I am home with a sick daughter :( so sorry I can't be there with you. Please click on this link: http://www.noogenesis.com/game_theory/johari/johari_window.html and read about the Johari Window - a window of self-awareness. Take your time understanding each of the four quadrants, and take some notes in reference to yourself. For that which is hidden, discuss if you do indeed keep things hidden - maybe even from yourself?! For that which is unknown, obviously, it is unknown, but comment on what the unknown could possibly be for you - we've talked about attempting to decipher your own dreams. What about your nightmares?? Hmmm - this could be very interesting!

After you have read through the entire Johari Window and reflected on yourself and each quadrant, please complete a post about it on your blog. This will be Post #3 and will be worth 20 pts. Separate each window discussion into separate paragraphs. You should have enough time to complete this today in class! Pds 4 and 7 - share computers if there are not enough.

Don't forget - your papers on Chaucer and his Retraction are due Thursday. Discuss why he would write this, and how it squares with all that you have come to know about him through reading his work and viewing the film A Knight's Tale. Be sure to incorporate at least 2 - 3 textual references! Quote it - cite it! (1 1/2 - 2 pgs, typed, dbl sp.; 65 pts)

Post #2 - A tale to read on your own...

Hopefully by now you have either started reading a tale that we did not cover, or have finished reading one. Your second post will be a discussion of this tale; a reaction, an analysis, etc. - please incorporate some text (quote and cite pg #) into your one lengthy paragraph discussion. (15 pts)

This is due by midnight on St. Patrick's Day!! Tuesday, March 17th
