Part II

Go to B-333 or a similar computer lab to finish your revision of the CATW on Google Docs and share the document with me by 5:30 today. When you are done, come to my office, M109-B, so I can mark you present.

The evaluation of Blog Series 3 will be completed once you hand in the revision of the CATW.

NO LAB Today!

Instead, keep on writing your revision of the CATW in Google Docs.

If you are stuck writing your own thesis, see the possibilities in the post below.

THE EVALUATION of Blog Series 3 will be this week-end (all blogs must be completed to get full credit!)

Third Lab, Blog 7: I Am / I Am Not a Cyborg (10/8)

"Making 'Dontcha Wish Your Cellphone Was Hot Like Me?'" 

by Steve Rhodes

Please title your entry EITHER “Blog 7: I Am A Cyborg” OR “Blog 7: I Am Not A Cyborg." Then write a 400-word essay where you prove to myself and your classmates that you either are or are not a cyborg. Start by giving YOUR OWN definition of what a “cyborg” is and then use evidence from your own life and experience to support your claims. Be as detailed as possible. You may quote any of the definitions that you found out yesterday, if it helps.


THE EVALUATION of Blog Series 2 will be this week-end (all blogs must be completed to get full credit!)

First Lab (9/24)

• Introduction to the Lab (Hello Troy! :-)  )
• Activity: “Fact or Opinion?” (pages 9-10 in packet)
• If you have earphones, you may begin to do this next part in the lab. If you don't have earphones, you should probably do this next part at home:  Watch the segment of The Daily Show by clicking on the link below. Now click on the Comments for THIS my blog post and write a comment that answers the following:

1. Is Fox News giving facts, opinions, or both?
2. How do you know?
3. What do you think is Fox News' purpose in discussing the logo of the conference?
