Yesterday (Thurs. 11/20) I wrapped up The Geography of Nowhere in class lecture. Hopefully, you have all finished reading that book by now. Remember that you need to start reading our final book, The End of the Hamptons, of which I only plan to cover pp. 1-82 in some fashion during the final week of the semester. You should also be reading that book for the sake of ESSAY II, which will be due on Tuesday 12/2 after the break.
On our next class, Tuesday 11/25, I will be handing back your papers and we'll be seeing a video entitled "The End of Suburbia: Oil Depletion and the Collapse of the American Dream." The video will take up the entire class period. If you'd like to earn 5 extra credit points, you can write a one-page response to seeing that film in which you identify and briefly discuss what you thought was the STRONGEST and WEAKEST aspect of the documentary. If you choose to do this, this one-page response will be due on the Tuesday 12/2 after the break.
