HR 2012 blog assignment
Harlem Renaissance: BLOG
Due: ________________________
Blog: “a chronological publication of personal thoughts, media objects [audio or video files], text, images web links and data that can be viewed in an HTML browser” (problogger.net, 2005).
Assignment: using blospot.com you will create an original blog about the Harlem Renaissance. This means that you will need to have personal thoughts, media objects, text, images, web links and data published on blogspot.com. Although we’ll have laptops in class for you to work your blog, assume it will not be enough time and expect work after school/at home to successfully complete this project.
Note: a gmail address is required for this assignment. I think you can use the Berkeley.students.net account , but if you don’t have a gmail and need to make one WRITE DOWN YOUR PASSWORD AND USER NAME
Note: if you have your own blog that is not associated with blogspot.com you MIGHT be able to use it but first you and I have to figure out how I can access it.
Check out Erby’s blog

Blog Criteria: your blog must –
1) Include citations where necessary. Okay: I know there is a way to properly cite blogs but honestly I don’t know how (yet) so for the purpose of this assignment you can just reference the URL where you get your information.
2) Have a visually interesting background page
3) Include several image: you don’t want your blog to be cluttered with visuals, but it’s more visually pleasing to see lots of images.
4) Be user friendly and work
5) Have comments posted by a minimum of four AHA juniors
Ø It’s great comment on your BFFs blogs but here’s a good opportunity to step outside of the box, look at and comment on blogs not from your BFFs.
6) I really encourage your blog to be professional:
Ø Save often. Let me be clear: SAVE YOUR WORK EVERY FEW MINUTES
Ø Don’t forget to publish (make public) your work
Ø Include lots of images and/or sounds (remember: Harlem = CULTURE and ART!)
Ø Proofread and spell check: take pride in your work and don’t submit crappy writing and/or lame ideas (HR theme = PRIDE!)
7) Where necessary, provide citations. When is it necessary to provide citations?
