Today you will create your class blog. In this term-long assignment you will maintain your blog by reporting on a single issue. You will follow this issue as it develops over the term. You will analyse how the media covers the issue and you will look at videos, news stories, and other blog reports as part of your research. You will link your research to your blog.
In addition, you will comment on the blogs of others in the class. You must have all classmates' blogs linked on your site and you must visit them regularly. You will be graded on how well you cover your issue and how well you respond to the ideas presented on the other blogs.
I will routinely post instructions and information here. Check regularly.
Remember, this is a multi-media assignment. Be creative.
Today in class I will help you choose a topic to cover. Some ideas might be the American Election, Canadians in Afghanistan, conflict in Africa (Kenya, Angola etc.), war in Iraq. You may also choose a broader topic that is receiving a lot of attention: for example, global warming, the intelligent design debate, environmentalism, AIDS in Africa, violence in society, English vs. French in Canada etc.
Come up with your own idea.
More details will come.
Never walk alone...
