Week+One



 **__ Week One (1/18-1/21) __**     Just so you know, the "Week" tabs here on the Wiki mirror the "Weekly Reading" folders in BB. I will maintain both spaces to reduce frustrations and to provide you with two options for accessing course materials.  Here is what I would like you to do this week. . . > > @http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qb-bOXWNk6M&feature=related
 * 1.Go to the "Introduce Yourself!" tab and introduce yourself!
 * 2.Read through the course syllabus [[file:HollisTel212SyllabusSpring2011.doc]] and post any questions on the BB discussion board under "Course Questions" or under "Discussion" on this page.
 * 3. Take a look at the //Color of Fear// clip for some context for Berlak--

> Above, you will find a link to a You Tube clip from //The Color of Fear (//1994), which Berlak and her students reference quite a lot in the article we are reading and responding to this week. I think that you might find this film clip useful for gaining some context into the core and conflict of the discussion, before you read Berlak's discussion. Also, you might be interested in checking out some of the director's other projects. Just google //The Color of Fear// and you can learn more. //The Color of Fear// (1994) is a film project that was conceived and directed by Lee Mun Wah. Lee Mun Wah is a Chinese American community therapist, a documentary filmmaker, a diversity training consultant and a renowned lecturer. > While this clip only provides a few minutes from the full-length documentary, it will provide some understanding of what this film looks and feels like. It also captures a rather heated and important moment in the film. Again, look at this clip for context that can help you to better understand Berlak's discussion. >
 * 4. After you watch the clip, please read this article by [[file:Berlak, A. (1999).pdf]]. This article is a little long, but it is accessible and easy to read. Take some time to engage with her work in this study.
 * 5. In BB, complete your Week One Post under the "Discussion" tab marked "Week One". Respond to four of your peers (I will place you in small groups for Week Two . . . for this week, let's respond in a BIG forum as a whole class so that we can all "see" each other's responses).

> (Your self-introductions on the Wiki and your initial posts about Berlak are due by Friday, 1/21 at 5:00 p.m. Dialogue with at least four peers should be "complete" and ready for grading and feedback by Monday, 1/24 at 5:00 p.m. We will follow this Friday and Monday due date pattern every week.)
