1. What is your purpose?Wednesday, February 15, 2012.
Consider the following suggestions before composing your welcome and links list.
Try to find a purpose within the assignment that is more intrinsic than getting the assignment done on time.
2. How will you organize your blog?
Will you use the Welcome post as a description and have it come up like a subheading when the blog is opened as I have on the class blog?
(go to DESIGN - SETTINGS - DESCRIPTION)
Will you organize each section of the assignment on a different page?
(go to NEW POST - EDIT PAGES)
Will your links list go on your blog as a gadget or a post?
(go to DESIGN - ADD A GADGET - LINKS LIST)
3. What kind of information do you need to investigate in order to be fully informed? Find links that will help you to understand the novel, its plot, characters, themes and style; the author and the novel's historical context or significance; current interest in the themes or ideas presented in the novel; critical reviews; film versions of the novel etc... You are expected to have surveyed the links for authenticity, accuracy, reliability and usefulness.
Find the information and select how to organize the links you deem worthy (please avoid WIKIPEDIA) - as a page, links list or list in a posting.
