Internet Memes and the Critical Process

The assignment is due before you start your Thanksgiving break, and you will have plenty of time in class to outline your work, conference with me, and start the final product.  The directions are posted under the appropriate category here, and they are also reprinted as a WordPress Page on the right of this screen.

As you look at those Pages, note that your grades for all past and any subsequent blogging assignments will be posted to our course website, and you can find the link on the Page labeled “Blogging Grades”; you will also be able to find a template Page that will show you how to structure your critical study of a meme, as well as the links to your peers’ blogs, which you will need to complete the blogroll assignment.

Blogrolling

As you complete your post for the week of Thanksgiving, checking as you always do the course website for assignments and due dates, be sure to take time to polish your blogroll – the list of links that should appear on the main page of the template you’ve chosen.  This week, your secondary assignment is to add the blogs of all of your classmates to this blogroll.  Follow these directions:

1. Go to your Dashboard.
2. Click on Write: Link.
3. In a separate window, open this blog (the course blog) and go to the Page labeled “Student Blogs III.”
4. Copy and paste the first blog title and URL, then publish the Link.
5. Repeat for the rest of your peers’ blogs.  Include the main blog, as well.

This is due on the same day as your next post.  Remember also that those of you who failed to publish your posts last week (and be sure to click Publish, not just Save, when you do so) can create one now for half-credit.  You must still update again on top of that.
