Overview of the Project and Project Site – Don
    Berlin’s Pedagogy – Don
    6 Units – Advertising, work, play, gender, education, and individuality

Project Teams – Kyle
    1.   Data and Coding Team – Responsibilities will include research into qualitative methods, coding, and related empirical     topics as well as transcribing and coding data from focus groups and instructor journals. If you are taking empirical                 methodology in the spring, this might be a good option for you.
    2.   Traditional Article Team – Responsibilities will include gathering research on Berlin and related ideological critiques as     well as reporting on our teaching experiences as an empirical/archival study. If you are taking postmodern rhetoric in the         spring, this might be a good option for you.
    3.   Webtext Team – Responsibilities will include gathering research on teaching self-studies, pedagogical accounts and         similar works that have both a print and digital form as well as developing a webtext that includes a completed Berlin             bibliography and accounts of our teaching experiences. If you are taking Sam’s gaming course in the spring, this might be     a good option for you.

Establishing a Project Timeline – Kyle & Don
    1.   Readings for Winter Break – In order to prepare for this project, we’re hoping to all read 2 selections from Berlin and 1     critique from Raul Sanchez and/or Marshall Alcorn. These readings will provide an overview of Berlin’s pedagogy and its         limitations.
    2.   Pre-teaching Focus Group – On adapting Berlin's materials in spring course
    3.   Teaching Journal – During the unit sequence, we hope that we can all keep teaching journals to keep track of our             experiences in adapting Berlin’s pedagogy.
    4.   Post-teaching Focus Group – On teaching (adapted) Berlin’s materials in spring course
    5.   Project Team Meetings – Each project team will determine the frequency of smaller meetings throughout the spring         semester.
