Brendan's Log
· Matt reminded us about going to the library next class (I think)
· We listened to a poem through an mp3 recording by the author Miguel (didn’t get the last name)
· A lady from FSU resources came in to talk to us about opportunities on campus
· CHA is a prevention program trying to stop things from happening on campus (ex: HIV)
· Anything we tell this ladies program is kept quiet, opposed to telling our professors where they have to report what we say
· Provide:
o Emotion counseling
o Academic accommodation
o Referrals for things not on campus
· Griffin showed us his mini-presentation
o Talked about hockey flow today and back in the day when people had mullets and stripes in their hair
o They always winked in the camera
o Fros in 2014 were popular
o Mustaches were huge when this video was created
o He said that this was dry humor where the creator based how good a hockey player was based on their hair
o Makes a video every year and the players get trophies and money for how good their hair is
o Audience is mostly teenagers and anyone interested in hockey that gets the humor
· Told us to write on our card what “Consider the Lobster” was about
· Talked about who has eaten lobster
· Consider the lobster is our mentor text for the 2nd paper
o Chose this because it is about a lot of different things
§ Presents facts about the origin and anatomy of Lobsters, author talked about Lobster festival and also went to it. Also researched how people cook lobster
o Goes against our research expectations because its making a lot of arguments
§ Sounds a lot like a high school research paper
· True or false, our project is only about 1 thing?
o False
· True or false, your project 2 will make an argument?
o True
· True or false, your 2nd project has to be based on academic research
o False, most is our on the ground research
· 10 total sources, 7 must be academic sources
· “genre” is not a useful term in 2018
· Analyzing “Consider the Lobster” by talking about its meaning, genre, and what type of text we believe it is
· Mat made fun of how in high school we didn’t write anything bias because it was bad even though everything we do has bias
· Showed us “This is Water” by David Strickland
· Helped us upload things onto Wix
