Welcome to Alaska? Um, no Thursday the 18th

> Diigo bookmarks

> Returning grades

> Research topic: Here Comes Everybody, chap. 4-5.

> Work on shared document. In a new blog post, write a brief summary of your project so far. The summary should contain three parts, with each at least a sentence in length; it can be broken into three parts or formed into a single paragraph.
  1. The first should state the topic you are working on (fan fiction, music remixing, etc.). State it as specifically as you can.
  2. The second should state what is at stake in the topic. What are the debates and why? Why is this topic important? Is it a matter of free expression? Of community? What is it?
  3. The third should state your position. What is your assertion about the topic? Where do you stand on the debates?
Think of this brief summary as a thesis paragraph. Add your name at the end of the writing. Then cut and paste it into the shared Google Docs document (you should have received an email with instructions). Note: only 10 can edit the shared document at a time. Cut and paste and exit quickly so that others can add theirs.

>
Work on annotated bibliographies. What is the argument? What are the assertions? What is the evidence?

> For Tuesday: Two Diigo bookmarks + blog entry reflecting on your topic so far + read Here Comes Everybody Chaps. 6-8. Where are you in your thinking? What do you still need to do?
