First....did no one watch that video that I labored over for hours and hours and hours? I have this terrifying feeling that it is so bad that you are speechless? I am picturing AP lang students staring at the computer screen, eyes glazed over, mouths slightly opened....thinking, "I just don't know what to say." Or "What exactly have I signed up for?"
Second, and more importantly, Lasker and Farber. Look out, Cancer. Here is the kind of reader I am, someone shout at me if this is you. The minute I read the name "Lady Bird Johnson" I got side tracked into my own personal internet quest to find out the origin of her name and her real name. Of course, then that led to looking for images to see if what her nanny said was true (unconfirmed) and then the realization that I was not getting the reading done and so then back to the text. I am interested in hearing about your side tracking. Especially because your "bird walks" as they are called (coincidence: Lady Bird--ha! I went on a bird walk about Lady Bird ) can indicate your interest areas which can lead to great topics for writing. And you will need to find topics for writing this year and compose good research questions. So, notice the things you notice. And keep a list of them. You won't remember them even though you think you will.
I don't have a lot to say about this section. I think this section is necessary to get us to something else that Mukherjee wants to talk about.
