Monday 1 October: library session about databases
HW: blog about cultural event by 6pm on Sunday the 30th
Wednesday 3 October: in-class review of Kester from last week
I will return the quizzes and we will talk about some art projects.
HW: POST ON YOUR BLOG:
1) Post a narrative synopsis (written paragraph with full sentences) of the Christian Science Monitor article (see link below under essay 2 links). Make it good enough to use in your essay for next Monday.
List the key points you plan to address in your essay. This is not a thesis, it is a synopsis of the article, to which you will respond in later drafts of your work. It is difficult to have good IDEAS about the issues if you haven’t gathered information yet. You can wait to write a thesis after you have done some research.
2) Make a link to at least one on-line resource that you think might be relevant for background information for your paper. Make a hyperlink that you can click. Check Blogger HELP for info on how to do this if you don't know how. In Firefox, the picture-icon in the "compose" function of the "edit posts" will allow you to do it.
