Week 5, Day 1
Professor Moss wanted us to have a different perspective of the class today, so he decided to start class on the opposite side of the room. We were asked to move our seats to the opposite side of the table that we were sitting in so that we would face the back of the room. Professor Moss told us that we would have a game day on Wednesday, so we spent the first part of class talking about games. With the help of the class, he listed dozens of different games on the board. Board games, card games, strategy games, etc. We got into a long discussion about the game of Monopoly and how it relates to capitalism.

For the second part of class, we looked at the pictures that we brought in for the Seven Deadly Sins. Our homework over the weekend was to find seven pictures, one for each of the Seven Deadly Sins. It was interesting seeing what images everybody came up with and trying to figure out what sin was being portrayed in each image. Some pictures were much easier to tell than others. Most of us had repeat images; Professor Moss said that this was the first time it’s happened in any of his classes. I guess some of us did this assignment the easy way, by typing in the name of the sin on Google search and selecting the first image that popped up, rather than looking at many different images and choosing the best one. Out of my seven images, two were repeats. Some of my classmates brought in stock photos, and we had a very brief discussion about that topic. Professor Moss told us that stock photos can look very unrealistic, and it’s always better to choose images that looked natural instead of posed. When I got home today, I saw an article on Yahoo about was about ridiculous stock photos. What a coincidence! We were just talking about bad stock photos in class!
I was hoping we could go over the homework that we had to redo over the weekend but we didn’t get a chance to. I was curious to see what my classmates came up with. Did we do the assignment correctly this time? Guess we'll just have to wait until next time. For now, I'm totally looking forward to Game Day on Wednesday!!
