This week’s blog posts (February 25-29)
This week, I’d like you to create two posts:
1. Your British author update. This time, I want you to tell exactly what you completed during the week. Account for your time spent…time reading, time working on the blog, time researching, time conferring with your partner, time conferring with me, etc. I don’t need to see exact numbers of minutes, but I’d like to know what you accomplished during the week. (Due by 3:30 Friday, February 29)
2. Brainstorming for your Social Action Research project action plan. List some ideas: Who will be involved in your project (are you working alone or with a group)? What specific aspect or aspects of your topic might you research? Who is your audience/who are you planning to influence or affect? Which person in power might you write your letter to? What other contacts do you need to make in order to make your idea a reality? Where and when will the public portion of your project take place?
I’d like to see several different ideas for each component of the action plan in this blog post. This isn’t your final action plan (and, indeed, the plan may change even after the “final” deadline)…it’s just a place to put some ideas out there and get some feedback on them. (Due by 3:30 Friday, February 29)
3. Comments–please provide some SPECIFIC feedback to at least 5 other action plan posts. Be warm or cool, NOT CRUEL. A key here…no matter what you’re posting on someone else’s blog, imagine how you might respond if you received the same comment on your blog. Kind of the “Golden Rule” principle… (Due by 3:30 Tuesday, March 4)
