12:30 PM– Room 430, NCC3

In celebration of the New York primary on Tuesday, we’ll be watching the very first episode of THE APPRENTICE from January 8, 2004, before the advent of YouTube or Twitter. Among the surprises in store: the team that wins the first challenge is rewarded by an invitation to Trump’s apartment! Wrapped in gold, the place makes Vegas and Versailles look like understated minimalism, but all the contestants do their best to pretend they think it’s beautiful. If that weren’t enough, Melania shows up to greet them! You’ll meet Omarosa, one of the early instant reality TV stars, and the season’s runner-up, Kwame Jackson, who just dissed Trump in a press conference on Friday. Can Trump’s reality show reveal meaningful insights into the Trump campaign? You decide on Tuesday

|The supplemental book you have been reading, The Accidental Buddhist, by Dinty Moore, can be assessed in two different ways. Some students’ strength is in memorizing and preparing for an exam. For other students, they would rather not have a time constraint and be able to write their thoughts out in an analysis or reflection. Therefore, this assessment appeals to both types of learning and gives you the opportunity to choose what works best for you in showing me you did indeed read this book! In other words, it is your choice in how you wish to be evaluated – so choose wisely!

Write a 4-5 page Book Reflection, untimed, responding thoroughly to the chapters in the book.  If you choose this option, do not just regurgitate the author’s writings (and do not DARE copy a review from another source (an automatic fail)– this reflection is to be your own words, thoughts and analysis).  Follow these guidelines: 

1. Give me your personal reflections and questions in response to reading this book. What parts spoke to you and what sections didn’t?
2. Highlight sections of the book that relate to the material we’ve learned about in class (you may use the study guidebelow to help you with organization!)
3. Be sure your summary addresses themes in all the chapters (in other words, show me you read this book thoroughly!Do not skip huge sections and expect to earn full points).
