Welcome to our SENIOR 20 BLOG!
Why blog?
If you consider this project and look at its approach, you
will find that we are more interested in the process than a final product. In
fact, this entire project is the
process that would lead you to a point of success, integration, and creation…
the start of something personal and intriguing.
What better way to document one’s journey than in a blog? By
using this forum you will be able to share what is happening in your own
research and action as well as bear witness to the pursuits of your peers. As a
class, you will be able to engage in dialogue that will provide suggestion,
encouragement, and further understanding.
What should I focus
on while I am writing these entries?
There are 5 blog entries for the semester. Collectively,
they will be worth 50% of your midterm grade (the other 50% being your TED
Talk). Each entry will also count as a homework grade. Therefore, we want to
make sure you have a focus for each month; however we expect you to expand (in
detail) about your findings, experiences, thoughts, and observations—bring your
project to life.
Structural
Requirements
Your blog entries should include the following:
Creative/ original titles for each entry
The following are suggestions; you are not limited
to any of these: links to audio/ videos associated with your topic and the
process, related readings (tumblr, huffington post, The New York Times),
pinterest boards, TED talks…) BE CREATIVE!
Entries should be clearly, but not necessarily
formally written so that we can identify your personality and writing voice—enjoy
yourself!
