Online Meeting Group Activity - Critical Approaches to Rhetoric (due by midnight on 11/8)

You will use the class time on November 8 to review and comment on your peers' blogs. In order to able to complete this activity:

*Make sure that the commenting feature on your blog is available for comments. Sign in to Blogger, go to Settings>Comments, and mark “anyone can comment” to make sure your peers will be able to post to your blog for this assignment.

*Make sure that the nickname you use on your blog includes an indication of your name and last name (see my blog nickname). We must be able to correctly identify who made the comments, when grading. Unidentifiable comments cannot be counted toward the final grade for the blog assignment.

For this activity, find your group below, and go to each one of your group members' individual blogs (except yours, of courseJ). In each blog, review your peer’s response for "Blog Post #6: Advertising and the Third Persona."  Check the link to their ad choice.  Click on the commenting button, and in a few paragraphs, make comments about your peer’s response in light of your reading of Chapter 7 Critical Approaches to Rhetoric. In your comments, respond to questions, such as: Based on their choice of the advertisement, what do you think about your classmate's answers to the questions for this blog post?  What are your opinions about this advertisement?  In your opinion, what or who is negated?  What standards are created by the image or advertisement?  Are these standards fair? Is the advertisement or image ethical?  Add any other comments that was prompted by your classmate's blog post.  (Tip: it might be a good idea to complete your comments on a Word document, save, and then post a copy to your classmate's blog).

 

***Comments are due on your classmates' blogs by midnight on Tuesday, Nov 8.  If you see that any of your peers has not made his/her blog post by the end of the class time, check back.  If you still see the post, you will not be penalized for not making a comment on his/her incompleted assignment (of course, your classmate will lose points for incomplete posts).
