Group Meeting--Controversial Issues

Our Controversial Issues Group met online in the Teleplace forum Saturday evening. Our topic is witches. Members of my group are:
  • Amanda Cain
  • Tracy Call
  • LeeAnn Perry
  • Laurie Johnston
At first, we discussed what we should be doing/researching. We all agreed that we would like to have a better idea about the nature of the final assignment. Knowing who the intended audience is and the purpose of the information will help us focus our efforts. We had a bit of fun sharing how to move, look around, and post sticky notes in the forum. It was nice to have a collabortive effort. It was fun to look at the people's avatars. We only used text chat. It would definitely be easier to hear each other speak. We decided to focus our research on lists of books, etc. with witches/wizardry/magic as underlying themes and cite examples of actual texts that have created controversy in this area. We will will get together online after class on Thursday to report our findings. We posted an edited version of the transcript of our discussion in our group's room in the Collection Development Forum in Teleplace.
