End of Week Assignment

It’s the end of the week, so you should all have one substantial post that:

  • has a voice that makes readers interested in what you’re doing
  • has good design elements: images (with credits), headings, use of color and other typographical elements
  • is a respectable length (should look like a week’s work)
  • has links to people or sites discussed

If your post is already finished, do this today:

Either:

1. Start working on your next post idea by drafting it, and/or seeking contributors via Twitter or any other network (including local people - students, family, and community members).  If you have contributors already, send emails or tweets requesting specific actions by a specific time.

and/or

2. Research other writers who write about the same subject (or podcast, or make films, etc) online, and write reviews of their skills - what do they do that is worth imitating? Why do you like or dislike them?

To find posts to review, go to Google Blog Search or  Technorati blog search .

Find three posts and write about the goods and bads you see on these sites.

Last ten minutes:

Write a post on this blog saying what you got done this week, and what sort of grade you should get for

a) effort

b) product

Include reflections of progress made in your project, and problems you need to solve - and any other ideas you might have.
