Blogs 1:3 7/22-7/29

Now that you’ve done one full set of blogs, think about what you need to do to make this go more smoothly. Suggestions would be to set up specific blogging days and to make sure you do these throughout the week. Also, remember to comment. Do blogs on time so that people have something on which to comment; many people did not get started last week until the weekend. Finally, read the assignment instructions carefully. This week:

  • Links- Use the dashboard to add new links. Add two of your own choosing and then also add my blog to your links so that it’s easier to get back to my page in order to access other students’ blogs. When choosing links, think again about that concept of digital footprint. How do you want this blog to appear to others. Choose links that represent you or steer people toward something that you really want them to see. Keep it appropriate.
  • Free Post
  • Canon Article reflection- We’ve done quite a bit with this article in class. Now, deal with it on your own. Summarize and critique the article. The summary should be extremely short (main points or concepts). The critique is your opinion or interpretation of the article. A critique is NOT a criticism. Don’t trash the article- analyze it. As part of your analysis, develop your own notion of what the canon is. What would be included or should be included? How can the concepts in the article guide you in your research?
