Instructions

For category 1 and 2 topics, I will roll a die to determine which teams get which topics. The team, in turn, will select a member to blog about that topic. For category 1 topics the entire team is expected to read the online material. Class time will be set aside on Tuesday Sep 9 for the assigned blogger to chat with their team. People not assigned to categories 1 and 2 will blog about a topic in category 3. To sign up for a category 3 topic edit this page and add your name to that topic.  

Due dates

  • Category 2 & 3 Tuesday Sep 9
  • Category 1 Thursday Sep 11

 

What to write

We are to produce summaries or 'paraphrases' of the material. If the material consists of more than one article, you are to write a summary of that issue (for example net neutrality''). The length should be between 600-1000 words. I expect high quality writing.
