Paper Update

Hey everyone!

So when I spoke with Micalee after we turned in our first drafts, she suggested I research some of the dances, music, novels, etc. that I spoke about in my paper since I am focusing so much on women's leisure.  So I have really been doing a bunch of research and am posting 2 dances that were considered very "sexual" in nature for the early 20th century.  Enjoy!

Also, good luck to everyone who is going to present tomorrow :)

PHEW!

Hey Everyone!

I am glad I was able to do my presentation today and I hope you enjoyed it.  Also, everyone else did a great job!  I am looking forward to everyone's presentations next Tuesday.

QUESTION!?

Okay I am just making sure, on our syllabus if says our presentations begin Thursday, so tomorrow we just have normal class correct??

Also...

I found this ridiculous quote and had to share:

"Are women people? No, my son, criminals, lunatics, and women are not people."

Presentation

Hope everyone had a nice break, although it is only Saturday so it's not over yet!  I have thought of an interesting idea for my presentation but do not want to ruin the whole thing so I am not going to explain it quite yet.  However, it will involve having people get out of their seats, which at 830 in the morning might be a bit difficult but I hope people find what I am going to do enjoyable!

As for my paper, I am continuing to research more what would be seen as primary source information.  Since my paper deals mostly with leisure activities I have been looking up the fashions of NY in the early 1900s, as well as musical selections and different types of movies, so be looking for new picture and website posts!

See everyone Tuesday

Book Review Question

Okay, just to check, we are supposed to turn in our book reviews to Micalee's mailbox by 5pm today correct?

Book Review!

Hey Everyone! 

Just a quick update.  I am cleaning up my book review, which I am doing on The Maya of Morganton, and I seem to be alone because no one has posted that they are doing that book as well!  I chose Fink's novel because it seems to relate the most to my research topic and I believe I spent the most time invested in reading it. Good luck to everyone on theirs!
