Blogging Project
Throughout the semester you will be updating blog posts and commenting on classmates blogs with questions. The goal of this assignment is to research areas of the curriculum and create interactive reviews that can then be used as a study guide before the EOC. It is the responsibility of the owner to monitor their posts and answer any questions and participate in discussions posted by classmates. Points will be deducted if you do not monitor and respond to the discussion on your blog post.
Everyone will make three blog posts and comment on 3 other students posts per each blog due date totaling 9 comments/questions (meaning you cannot comment on the first 9 blogs and be done for the semester). In total you will make 3 blog posts with 9 comments by the end of the semester. You are more than welcome to comment/question more than 3 posts per deadline.
Each blog should contain:
1) a visual (picture, video, animation)
2) main ideas/information about your topic (Something you can use as a quick review before the EOC). A bulleted list for this is best. We want quick and easy review before the EOC.
3) Some type of reflection (a summary of what you learned, what surprised you, was this something you already knew about, how did you like this objective, how can it be applied outside of biology, ect). Make sure to proof read your summary and fix errors before posting.
4) All citations in MLA format. A great resource for this is easybib.com
5) MAKE SURE YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN YOUR BLOG AND ALL COMMENTS SO I CAN GIVE YOU CREDIT FOR THE ASSIGNMENT.
Go to the following link to sign up for your topics: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rCIqRTHk75ia6VHdcsVvFNObVDxr7eW-cTU9Z-LF79k/edit?usp=sharing
All topics must be picked once before a second person can sign up for them. I have put some notes in parenthesis by a few topics to help narrow the topic.
Your blog post might be due before we cover the content objective in class. If your objective has not been covered you will need to do some research on your own, but always know I will be available to help guide and narrow your research if needed. When we do cover this in class, I may look to you as the new expert to help with class discussions.
DO NOT contact me the day before your post is due asking for help narrowing your research. You have plenty of time so plan ahead.
