How to Submit Part 1 and Part 2 of the Assignment for Unit 3

Because this is a two-part assignment, I’m sending out more information for submitting Part 1 and Part 2 of your Unit 3 Assignment: Exploring a New Genre, which is due tomorrow:

PART 1: The Project (due on the OpenLab on Dec. 1)

Everyone should make a post on the OpenLab. I  prefer that you title your post with your name this way: John Smith: Unit 3 Assignment. Below are uploading explanations for the different genres being explored. You are doing only one of the following:

• If you are writing a magazine-style article, upload the article as a PDF  to the Media Library and insert the “media file” into the OpenLab post. (This is what you’ve been doing all along for Peer Review. Here is one strong example from your peer of how that post might look. Here are instructions on how do this posted earlier in the semester)
• If you are making a TedTalk or Podcast, upload it to YouTube or Vimeo or Souncloud, and put the link in the post. (This is what I do for the teaching presentations.  Here is one example of how your post might look.)
• If you are making a poster or brochure, upload it as a JPEG or PDF to the MediaLibrary and and insert the “media file”  into the OpenLab post. (This is also the same process as Peer Review (see the instructions above for the magazine-style article). Here is one example of a post I made that incorporates a brochure at the bottom.)

PART 2: The Artist’s Statement (due on Blackboard on Dec. 1)

As was described in this post, Unit 3: Artist’s Statement Guidelines, you are writing a reflective Artist’s Statement about  you experience of writing in a new genre. This should be about one page long and should answer the three questions provided in the guidelines. The link is live on Blackboard in the Assignments folder:  Unit 3, Part 2: Artist’s Statement.

Grading Procedure:

• I will put the overall grade for both projects on the Artist’s Statement on Blackboard.
• Grading guidelines are on the Unit 3 Assignment and on the Grading Rubric on Blackboard.
• Do  not put both items on Blackboard. We are going to use the projects in class and your peers need to be able to see them.
