Here is the prompt for e-journal #9. Also, do not forget your reading in The Bedford Handbook (p.462-475) as well as the Hempel with Lehman article titled, “The Myspace Generation.” It can be found in the Mercury Reader (p.12-22) and posted on the blog.
Spend the weekend being a bit more aware about your social internet usage, via your computer, your phone, or otherwise. Describe in detail what you are typically doing when you visit one of these sites. How many hours a day do you spend on social sites? Are you a multi-tasker too?

Upcoming Readings and Schedule Updates
Hello Everyone,
Be sure to double check the schedule of readings and written assignments, as there are many specific readings in The Bedford Handbook which we will encounter during this third segment of the course that you need to be aware of so that you can plan ahead accordingly. As I mentioned in class today, we are but seven short weeks away from finals and these seven weeks are going to go by quickly. Therefore, stay on top of your game and keep a close watch on your time management, balancing your coursework accordingly, as this semester begins its final descent.
Here you can find the upcoming in-class reading from Hacker's text for Thursday, p.486f, 442-458. Please preview these pages, printing them if necessary, so that you are adequately prepared for class. The subsequent reading, p.462-475, can be found here as well, come early Tuesday afternoon.
