(10') Start discussion of team-based learning (see handout from 11 May)

(10') Group determines timelines for the two remaining activities: 1) contributions to the SpeakEasy "Box"; drafts and final versions of Project #2/#3



(50') SpeakEasy maintenance: The sales kit; the "Box" for the fall group (what will be in it, who will create it, and what will be the identities of the "who's" that create it?). Maggie's curriculum plan (draft 5 May 2010) comments: didn't do, since Brett Condron had a family emergency to attend to; so we examined the draft course design for Fall 1020 SpeakEasy (see handout)
