Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. What a snow last night.
For fun here's a reader Snow Gallery I found on the Cape Cod Times website.

Class today
Great class today folks! Thanks for all the great ideas. I look forward to your Community proposals coming in by Thursday at Midnight. Please email me if you have questions.
Community Project
The Community Project will include these assignments:
This is the proposal you are bringing three ideas for today. Its just to get you planning so you don't end up doing things last minute. You may choose to not use the same idea for all the assignments, but you'll need three ideas.
Please bring those tentative ideas to class today. The proposal is not due until Thursday evening though. In your proposal you should say why your three ideas would fit with these assignments. The details of the assignments can be found on the convergence site. I'll take more questions in class.
