Criteria
Here I include the criteria for blog posts along with links to some strong ones from last semester:
1)
posts are 180-220 word paragraphs answering the question what does
_____________ (insert popular space, performance, or service learning
experience) and __________________ (insert value or belief) in America?
This answer appears in a concise focus sentence prominently positioned
within the post.
2) posts make a connection to one or more of our class readings
3) posts analyze and interpret striking details about the place / event / experience described and feature dynamic prose: concision, active verbs, and varied sentence structures
4) posts make the most of the multimedia and/or hypertextual resources of the webs by including images, videos, music, links etc. that contribute to the impact of the post.
Samples: Remember these are often draft versions that were significantly revised later for portfolios--so style and other issues may not be where they need to be. But these posts give you a sense of the kinds of questions you can explore and the kinds of connections you can make to the readings and the web as you put together your posts.
