Work for Monday

Please complete Shoplifting from American Apparel. Follow the usual reading response instructions and post to the blog by 8pm on Sunday. One thing I'd like you to make sure to cover in your response is: investigate the relationship between Shoplifting from American Apparel and the texts we covered on Wednesday by Warhol and Mohammad. Try to bring into your response some of the ideas that were raised in class.

Also, I'd like to stress the importance of making sure to complete the reading. The blog posts for last class were not as good as usual and it is apparent to me that the reason for this is that people are not doing the reading, or at least not doing it carefully. Because your class participation grade accounts for a sizable amount of your overall grade, if it becomes clear to me that you're not doing the reading, this will significantly affect your grade. If you're not responsive in class and if you write a short and overly-general blog post, I assume you haven't done the reading. Also, if you don't bring the printout with you to class it gives the appearance that you haven't done the reading. Please stay on top of these things!
