12/11 Class Directions

Hello students!

Since our discussion section is unfortunately cancelled today, we are going to have a different sort of discussion online today. Your participation for the day will consist of posting and responding to students' posts on this blog. All work is due by 6:00 pm today.

We will proceed as follows:

Student presentation and discussion:

- Each student presenting will post their argument in written form. This is due by the start of your discussion section time (section 3 - 4:10, section 4 - 5:10). The format is not important, as long as it is not too long (same amount of information as a 3-5 min presentation), and we understand your argument, evidence, and analysis.
- Make sure that you clearly title your post "_Name_ Presentation and Discussion" so that other students know where to find the "discussion".

- Please provide the information for the scene that you will be analyzing and, if possible, a link to a clip (youtube, etc.) for us to watch.

- End your post with your discussion question(s). Every student is required to respond to all discussion questions. Your posts can be long or short, depending on your thoughts on the issue. You are encouraged to read other students' responses and respond to them as well.


Feel free to email me any questions. I will also be available on Skype during my scheduled office hour today, 11-12, at mieka3000, and also from 4-6.

    1. Hi Michelle,
      If the deadline is 6 pm and we have class right before then but no one makes a blog to respond, what do the rest of us do?

  2. I posted the deadline for the presenters both above and in a previous announcement to the class as the beginning of their section time. For you, they should post their presentations by 5:10.

  3. Hey Michelle,
    I made a post but from what I can tell you have to click on my name to see it. Is that how you wanted us to post the presentation or is there another way to post it directly to this page?

    1. Hmm, not sure what is going on there...I can read it if I click on your name, though, so at least we have that. Where did you post it/ under what link?

      Thanks, hopefully we can figure this out. If not, I can re-post it by the start of "class".

    2. It looks like you might have posted that on your google+ account instead of this blog. Can you try again to post it on the blog specifically? You should be able to access it from blogger.com and click on either the orange pencil button or where it says "# posts".

    3. Nevermind, I just posted it so that students who have the time to start reading now will have something to read and respond to.

    thanks!

    1. Hi Tiffany,

      I think it displays the name that you have registered with Google. Now that I know who applesauce is, though, you should be good.

      Best,
      Michelle
