Final Blog Postings

Hi folks.

So I've had a bit of a change of heart. Your final blog postings aren't due until tomorrow night--Thursday, January 28. And then you'll need to do your final five Comments (and email me your five or include them in a comment to me) by Friday, January 29. The 11:00pm rule still stands.

Your final Blog Entry will be in two parts:

Part I--Cool Stuff

Not unlike past Cool Stuff posts, you'll need to provide us with at least three items. Unlike past posts, though, only some of them need to branch off of our Music-Cultures for this week (Indonesia and China). Some of your posts may wander off into other territories that you find especially intriguing, such as the Music-Cultures that your classmates are presenting or Music-Cultures that we're not even getting to. Just don't post clips or pictures that you already showed us in your class presentations--we need new stuff.

Part II--Wrap-up

Answer the following three questions. Give each at least a few sentences of explanation.

1. What is something you learned about another culture this term that surprised or intrigued you?

2. What is something that you realized about your own culture through our discussions.

3. What is something that this course has inspired you to learn more about.

And, just because one of the many micro-sub-topics of this class is "Wow! You can make music with that!", here's The Jeep.
