| All | Web Log Entries (Blogs): Blogs are online journals. For this course, I ask that you write a blog entry for certain assigned readings. Each entry is composed of two main parts: the MLA citation (the information as to author, title of work, date and place of publication, and publisher) and an annotation (which contains, as you may notice, the word “note” within). The annotation is also composed of two parts: a summary and an analysis. Your analysis should consider the validity of the author’s arguments, relevance to other texts we’ve read, and perhaps the greater relevance to the course in general. Blogs are posted online, and yours may be chosen to share in class. I will provide you with writing prompts (check the online listing for the reading at eng112.cundrie.com/rd).You will also be asked to blog certain steps of your project creation process-- ideas for topics, for chapters, etc. | 10% |
