Hi friends!
I'm teaching Media Lit this fall. I'm looking for a pre/post test/assessment that I can give the students--not for a grade but as an activity. Does anyone have something of this nature?
Thanks!

I need your help! I’m looking for two types of stories:
-stories that went viral and are crazy but TRUE
-stories that went viral and are FALSE
I need the full story—but if you know a snippet that I could google to find the story, I’ll take it.
This is for a class activity. Thank you in advance!

I’m currently experiencing in real time both the benefits and drawbacks of animated slide deck. Benefits? It looks cool. Drawbacks—the presenters keep accidentally skipping ahead and then going back takes way longer than no animation and it’s annoying as the audience member.

I’m in Vegas for BEA. I got Indian food on the way back to my hotel tonight. It was toooo spicy. So I ate it (and enjoyed it!) and then I *had* to go get the fancy-looking gelato downstairs to help calm the heat in my mouth.
I had to. It was required by…the law.

I got into weights when I was pregnant and have continued it for the past 20-ish months after my daughter was born. I did not know I would fall in love with it.
I started this book the other day and it’s been really interesting. Worth a read!

Today is the day! My book is out in the world. It’s not a friendly world for writing about science or women or especially women’s bodies right now. But I’m so proud to be telling a story that makes a certain type of person very, very angry. www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/casey...

I usually wake up with the Today show.
Today it was Pete Hegseth delivering an argument and update on Epic Fury. Not the Monday I wanted. I got so angry listening to him. 🤬

Does anyone have any interesting assignments focused on outlines? Aside from speech or paper outlines?
The way I teach public speaking no longer stresses outlines for speeches (well, I stress it, but there are no assignments for outlines) and I want them to still build that skill.

The worst part about listening to good music via headphones is the inability* to sing along with it in public.
*socially acceptable inability. I am in a library after all.

My daughter is now old enough that her weekly fee for daycare went down.
I'm both excited by this and utterly saddened. My baby isn't a baby anymore. 😭😭

I am by no means alone in this nor the first to complain, but I wish there were more "baby and me" type things in the evenings and not just during workdays. There are so many cool events, but they're all 9-11am on Tuesdays or something. Not conducive to working parents.
