This is a draft of my comp book/zine project. I have made some prototypes of the construction, which I would like to share for feedback on Zoom. I will include photos of these in the final draft. Thank you – Lisa Haas
OP Lesson – Lisa Haas – Draft-1
I love this Lisa. I think it’s a great idea to have students write to future students about this course. I’ve done that before and they have amazing advice and the new students really take it in. I think it helps create a nice vibe in the class too (for the new students).
Thank you!
This is for Introduction to Gender and Women Studies. I found this website from the University of Michigan:
https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/globalfeminisms/
“The Global Feminisms Project (GFP) originated in 2002 to create an archive of oral histories from women scholars and activists from four countries: China, India, Poland, and the USA Since then, we have added interviews from Brazil, Nicaragua, Nigeria, and Russia.”
My plan is for the students to choose one of the projects that interests them, read about it, summarize it and then we’ll have an Open Lab site that compiles them. I’m not sure I can get this done this semester but I will have the website available for them. It might be an assignment that will help me turn this class into a WI designated class. My students are writing a lot but it isn’t iterative which it needs to be for WI.
I wanna take this class! Seriously, learning about the work and thoughts of feminists around the world, I think, would provide a more expansive/in-depth and meaningful understanding of feminism.
Looking forward to any feedback! Thank you, Michael

I really like students opening a Wikipedia contributor account. In a way, this makes them an ‘influencer’ though different from a social media influencer. This makes me think of them as a
“knowledge revealer”.
This activity is designed to help scaffold critical thinking and argumentation skills for introductory rhetoric. Students have particular difficulty crafting outlines for speeches, and I think this could help with that, as well; the idea is to combine research and outlining with activities in Gale’s Opposing Viewpoints in Context database, available through the library [https://bmcc.ezproxy.cuny.edu/login?url=https://infotrac.gale.com/itweb/cuny_mancc?db=OVIC].
This database contains an extensive, curated collection of primary sources and opinion essays related to important global topics. It also autogenerates citations.
As a group or as a solo student-directed multi-step scaffolded assignment, students would select topics to research based on evaluative criteria. They would then gather appropriate primary materials according to criteria based on the kind of topic and a rubric for principles of credibility. Gale has highlighting and annotation features that students can use and students can save citations and notes in a working document.
Students turn the document into the outline for an informative speech.
I think this can be extended for the class’s persuasive speech as well but I’d be curious about suggestions from the group for this part. OVIC has opinion pieces that represent various positions on topics, and students can annotate these for ethos, pathos, and logos. I’m trying to figure out the best assignment for students to generate an outline for their own speech. Where I’m at right now is that this could be a low-stakes writing assignment where students compare and contrast the arguments and then make an argument for what they think the best argument would be for their audience. This would allow them a self-reflective lens to generate the outline.
Thank you for sharing the Gale’s Opposing Viewpoints in Context site. I will check it out – I see students struggle with creating outlines and citing source material (particularly for persuasive speeches.)
These are the ideas for a collaborate zine assignment in my classes on Asian American History and Chinese Culture and Heritage
I hope to use this project to engage students learning in the course, and give students opportunities to explore and make connections between the Math concepts and their daily life.

Open Pedagogy Assignment

Open Pedagogy Assignment – Alex Ho
Open Pedagogy is, it seems to me, the opposite of elite education.
But elitist education is elitist for that, which gives better results than mass Open Pedagogy.
The most limited educational resource is the teacher’s time, which he can devote to one student when the teacher with an individual approach to the student can evaluate and give the student exactly what he needs.
The idea of Open Pedagogy does not explain how to increase and multiply this resource.
Apparently, there is only one way here – the transfer of teacher functions to automatic computer teaching systems.
Only these systems, I hope, controlled by artificial intelligence, can actually make Open Pedagogy as high quality as elite education.
Here is a rough draft of my OER/zine assignment. I definitely have more work to do and you’ll see there is a section that is list of items that I still need to work on.

AFN 128 – BLACK WOMEN IN AFRICA AND THE DIASPORA
Students will work collaboratively on an e-zine type poster [or a ppt open lab assignment] – they will have a choice to work individually or collaboratively on an assignment where
we will examine the role that the black woman played in resistance movements throughout history as well as the effects of racial, gendered, class and other types of oppression on them.
Discussion topics to include as part of the poster where students can select one of the topics will include:
gender, sexuality, ethnicity, identity, economics, education, family, politics, and religion. We will use black feminist texts which center on the experiences of black women, rather than those that relegate the black woman to the margins. Such texts demonstrate the black woman’s agency and draw on the black woman’s particular ways of signifying, testifying, and serving as counter-narratives to the pernicious myths, which for centuries have circulated regarding the black female body. Students will be introduced to the varied realities of “The Black Woman throughout the African Diaspora”. This course is designed to provide students with an overview of the historical and cultural richness of the experience of these women. This includes the changing status of women in traditional societies compared with changes in the status of black women in the United States, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Most importantly, we will apply the concepts of unlearning historical truths and learning about the many “mis – education” in African History.
Here is a revised version of my tentative assignment pending course assignment by BMCC. I chose to do the assignment based on the Fall 2023 course that I taught at BMCC. The Open lab website is to my general page in which you can find the course for the Spring of 2023 included is still a work in progress. Your feedback is welcome, thank you.

For this Open Pedagogy Assignment, I will continue the exploration of the theme of “music” in my classes.
This time around, however, I would like to incorporate the open lab for at least one activity.

Hi All,
Here’s a photo-essay assignment I am currently working on for the “American Government” course that I teach, which will be published as a project on Open Lab. I know this comes a day after our last meeting, but I will appreciate any feedback you might have for me. Many thanks!
Photo-Essay Assignment – Political Participation
Sorry for the lateness!! This is a draft of my assignment. As I missed the last week, I’m sure it will need a lot of amendments, so looking forward to hearing them. It may be a little bit ambitious, so sorry for the potential Guinean pigs, but I am excited to try and I think a beautiful podcast can happen. Not sure if I want the step 1 (choose the name of the podcast) to be common for all the students, so their assignments look like different episodes from different groups. Thank you for this workshop!
