Blog Post #7

In your seventh blog post, I want you to begin some research for your ethnography. First, find a secondary source that you might use for your essay. Then, write a narrative of 150-200 words detailing the source that you have found and how it might work with your project. Details that you might include are (but are not limited to): what type of source it is, what kind of information is found in the source, what you learned from it, if/how it changed the way you think about your project, the credibility of the site, the author(s) of the site, or a quote that you're thinking of orally citing in your speech. At the end of your post, make sure to include the citation (APA or MLA format, whichever you prefer).

Blog Post #6

In your sixth blog post, I'd like you to respond to Burke's "Sucked Beneath the Tunnels of Las Vegas." Pick out one main point that you'd like to discuss. It could be something that stuck out to you, something you identified with, something you want to analyze, something completely disagree with. Make sure to include at least one quote from Burke to back up your point. Write at least 300 words. 

Please your thoughts onto your blog by Thursday, October 17 at 9 am. Let me know if you have any questions!

Blog Post #5

In your fifth blog post, I want you to reflect on your proposal speech. Watch your speech on the class capture (on Bb) and critique yourself according to the rubric. What did you do well and why? What didn't you do so well and why not? What might you improve in the future? Write at least 250 words.
