Each week, 2-3 students will be asked to research a topic related to popular culture and society and make it available in the form of a blog entry. The schedule for when students need to submit is here.
The instructor will handle the formatting and posting but students are responsible for:
1) Finding a topic by looking through news and media sources.
2) Copying a URL to an appropriate story or article.
3) Writing a brief (300-400 words) response that describes why they chose this story and what issues and/or ideas it raises for them, especially in relation to the themes of the course.
Students should upload their blog entries as a word processing document. Inside that document should be the URL of the story they are linking to, plus the written response.
Because of the weekly turnover in blog postings, timely entries are imperative. Therefore, late assignments will not be accepted without an excused absence.
Students are encourage to respond to the blog postings in their respective comments sections.
This assignment is worth 5 points.
