Instructions for original posts (online)

For the online portion of the project, you will need to complete one of two following types of tasks:

TASK ONE - ORIGINAL THOUGHTS, ORIGINAL POSTS

The first task is to create at least two new threads (starting messages) ONE a week between May 21st –June 4th that pose different points than those already offered, but also build on common themes. So what should you do? Go surf the net! Go find interesting and perhaps out of the way information. Upload to the blog a link to the article, or embed a video, or copy some political cartoons, or download an Mp3 song and its lyrics. Then analyze this bit of media for us. Be explicit about the assumptions you are making, the social science tools you are employing, and the analytical connections you are creating. These original 1st level posts must be completed by the Wednesday noon in order for your peers to have an opportunity to reply back to your ideas. It will be to your benefit to contribute your first thought early (to avoid having to read all other messages in order to see what points have not yet been made and then have to figure out how to link your post to the previous themes already expressed).
