1) See Yesterday's Newsfeed Post 2)Bonus Opportunities: African American Read-In, Tuesday, February 24th & UNPLUG & Read Motlow Library!

• Please ensure you see the D2L Newsfeed post from yesterday. It has a reminder about staying ahead on your course calendar readings; I don't want anyone to get behind due to this crazy weather and I tried to be considerate this week and let you all stay home, so do stay ahead! We will still have a quiz Tues. I am actually thinking of doing them differently this week to give extra time and prevent some stress with the rush, further. 
• Teachers & some students will be doing readings by influential black leaders/ authors & telling why they are important to them, personally-- in honor of black history month. 
• For possible bonus points, try to attend one of the 15 minute readings; they will be going on 11 am-2 pm Tuesday, February 24th (in the student success room). If you go, you MUST take a selfie of yourself at the event & do a video of the speaker you were present for. I realize time wise this may not be efficient for many; however, I will offer several opportunities throughout the semester (such as below). I do not assign a specific point value, so do not ask. I add in points needed to your ACTUAL final grade at the end of the semester or onto specific grades where you were lacking.

• There is also an opportunity for bonus through the UNPLUG & READ event hosted by the library next week (Monday, February 23rd through Saturday, February 28th); however, again, if you participate, you must get a form signed by a librarian saying you were there. After you are done with your reading (not during-since you are to UNPLUG) take an image of the book/work you unplugged to read. I encourage you to hashtag #Motlow #Unplug&Read on your social media pages if you use them (next week).
• If you open the jpg (ON D2L)...
  
  and click the print button, it is the same size as a piece of paper! Print in the library & get signed before you leave (after doing the activity-with NO technology on/ near you) :) 
• Reading is so important! And sometimes putting down our technologies can be freeing.
