The Collin College Book in Common Project - 2009-10

http://www.ccccd.edu/academics/bookincommon/

Your Collin College Book in Common (BIC) assignment is worth a possible 100 points and is due on October 21st* (M/W classes) or October 22^nd* (T/TH classes).  Choose ONE option from the following three choices to complete this task.  Note that all three require you to read the novel:

v Read the novel, attend the author’s lecture (dates and locations above and below on BIC website), and turn in a 1 ½ - 2 page review of the event. Write the review as if you were a Collin student reporter for the newspaper. While the typical “who, what, when, where, why and how” questions may help frame your article, I am also looking for your reporter insights about why a program like the BIC is beneficial to students at Collin. Feel free to include interview quotations from students or faculty attending – perhaps even the author himself! Do not forget to use the Collin Writing Center for editing advice!

v Read the novel and answer the Humanities questions (under my name entitled "Victorian Globalism") located on the Book in Common website. (Click on “TEACHING GUIDE” and then scroll down.) http://www.ccccd.edu/academics/bookincommon/

v Read the novel and answer the “Psychology” questions located on the Book in Common website. (Click on “TEACHING GUIDE” and then scroll down.) These are fascinating interdisciplinary questions – and not just for psychology majors!
