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.

Setting Up Your Blogs

To set up your WordPress blog, do the following:

1. Click here to load WordPress in a separate window.
2. Click here to load the Word document containing all directions.

Follow all directions exactly.  We will discuss your first post more in class, but if you finish setting up quickly, you may begin an introductory post in which you state your blog’s purpose and focus for the next nine weeks or so.  Individually, your introductions will vary.  Speak to me about it in class.
