In preparation for your trip to the National Gallery of Art, I would ask you to “network” with one another about possibly car pooling up to DC, feel free to use the comments here to get the discussion and planning started (thank you, Varin!). Otherwise, Amtrak and the VRE do go to Washington DC from Fredericksburg. You will need to have visited the museum by the end of next weekend (9/24), so be sure to start thinking this through now. If anyone has to go to the museum immeditely, read as this weekend, be sure to talk to me about the papaer assignment, I will send you a copy with the understanding that you will be reading John Berger’s “Ways of Seeing” before you take the trip. Also, if you can not get your hands on a digital camera for the trip, please let me know in the comments or via e-mail.

About
You have found Jim Groom's English 101 class portal for the Fall, 2006 semester at the University of Mary Washington. The students and I have been experimenting with tools such as blogs and wikis to reimagine virtual learning spaces both in and out of the traditional classroom. Feel free to look around and don't be afraid to leave a comment and tell us what you think.
