Bonus Assignment

The assignment that follows is one that you may complete in addition to your blog comment. It does not replace the comment that you will submit to yesterday’s post, “ENG 1103: Delivering Your Group Presentations.”

Directions

  1. Revise your three-paragraph blog comment to publish as a post, not a comment, on your own blog. Begin by deleting the third paragraph, then develop the first and second paragraphs with details about your portion of the presentation and your group members’ segments. Details will vary among posts but the title and author of the article or novella and the first and last names of your group members are essential.
  2. Include in your post an embeded link to the class notes that feature the group presentation assignment, “ENG 1103: Group Oral Presentations,” or include an embedded link to one or more of your group members’ blogs.
  3. Also, include the image of your group delivering its presentation. To save a copy of that photo to upload to your own blog post, follow these steps: (1) Scroll up the page to your group’s photo, and left-click on the image. (2) Right-click on the expanded image and select the Save image as . . . option.
  4. After you have drafted your post, added the group photo, and embedded a link to one or more of the sites noted above, craft a title that includes the author’s name and/or the title of the work but that isn’t simply the title, the author, or both. For example, your title shouldn’t be “Matt Richtel’s ‘Blogs vs. Term Papers,'” but might be “Speaking of Matt Richtel’s ‘Blogs vs. Term Papers,'” or “Speaking of ‘Blogs vs. Term Papers.'” Those titles include the subject and also include the word speaking, which indicates the oral nature of the assignment.
  5. Once you have added all required elements to your post, publish it. Email me to let me know that your post is published, so I can credit you with the assignment. To receive credit, you must publish your post no later than 4 p.m. on Thursday, October 29.

I look forward to reading your posts.
