IHI Class on Sep. 1st at 10 (Prof. Siccardi)

Hi everyone,

As you have learned in the meeting organized by the Head of the subject, you have to attend classes with your readings done. When we refer to ¨reading¨, we mean ¨read, do dictionary work, underline main ideas + details, do note margin for doubts/questions, summarize + synthesize, refer to maps when necessary, etc¨. That is, be ready to discuss in depth the content displayed.
For our first class (10-12), you need to read Ch 1 ¨Roman Britain¨ by Salway in The Oxford History of Britain by Morgan. Besides, you have to analyze in depth the timeline by Mattingly + Handout combining both sources (Salway + Mattingly).
Our first optional tutorial (12-14) is going to be devoted to writing conventions for English History (with a brief and quick introduction to MLA Worksheet). Remember you have a practical work coming really soon. Check schedule/blog calendar for that!
I wish you all a great first week of Spring Semester.
See you on Wed.
Ana

ICI - Slumdog Millionaire

On our first class, we'll be discussing Pre-viewing activities for Slumdog Millionaire. To save time and energy, you can choose a question to discuss in pairs or groups of three people and later share findings with the rest of the class. You can let us all know the choice of each group through a message in our blog.
These are the questions which are included in the viewing guide in your course pack:
1) The development of the Independence process in British India.
2) Problems after independence: poverty, internal conflicts, tensions between India and Pakistan.
3) Social stratification in present-day India.
4) India's ethnic, linguistic, and religious complexity.
5) India’s cultural heritage: main attractions such as monuments, royal residences, temples, bridges or historical landmarks. Provide pictures and locate them on a map.
6) Call Centres as symbols of the casualization of labour in contemporary India as a member of the global world.
7) Aspects of Bollywood film industry.
See u next week, Thursday & Friday.

ICI-IHI: Schedule update

Hi everyone, we´ve been able to make some changes & avoid overlappings for sophomore students (which was the correct thing to do) though not for junior ones as both courses belong to the sophomore year.
We have started completing the Google calendar on the right hand side of the blog.
