Week Four

Reminders from last week:

1. Read any four articles in the AJC’s Politics section published this week (1/27-2/1) and be prepared for a class discussion on the bills with the most “buzz” for this session.
2. I did not post instructions for joining our WordPress site on Friday. We will do that in class on Wed, 2/4.

Announcements:

1. No formal class meeting next Mon, 2/9, due to our voluntary Georgia State Capitol field trip
2. Here is the trip planning post for anyone planning to attend.

Monday discussion:

1. Legislative topics from your AJC reading
2. Our Analysis Post template
3. , which outlines the guidelines for the analysis posts for our class
4. Come to class with 3 related artifacts; two must be social media stakeholders

Wednesday activity:

1. Measuring digital ethos
2. Opening your WordPress accounts on our publishing space
3. Open new post and start composing your first analysis using the 3 artifacts that you found for homework that uses: 100 words of introduction, 3 artifacts (at least two must be stakeholders), and 3 annotations following the model in Monday’s template and this, simpler, Week Four Activity Example post.
4. Give the post a contextually useful title and place it in the “Week Four Activity” category (use the menu on the right side of your composing screen and choose “Post” at the top to find the drop down for categories).
5. Complete the above steps and save the post in a “DRAFT” format (do not “publish” it) by the end of the day tomorrow (Thurs, 2/5).

For completion before next week:

Because we are missing class on Monday, our Week Five post on Friday morning will outline activities and readings for the weekend and next week.
