Your final assessments for this class include a Pecha Kucha Presentation and a written take home exam. I explained more about these two assessments in class and handed out <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hCnNLEic1vkHFuImRufhyA4DcFHj0iXI-bEGn08I9bM/edit?usp=sharing">this document</a> to help you make sense of them. <br />

Hi GEND 200 folks,<br />
<br />
A couple of you have written to clarify the blog assignment so I wanted to post here to remind you that your only assignment this week is to complete the <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/18qzQwWf-l4ParNcc-OE27uXuOUaDJjNBOmKVh_WHnDQ/edit?usp=sharing">Midterm Mapping</a> assignment and post a link to it on your blog.<br />

There are two ways to do this:<br />
<br />
1) You can save the google doc in your Google Drive by going to MAKE A COPY under the file menu and then you can type directly on the document. To get a link to put on your blog, you just go to the blue SHARE button in the top right corner and click where it says Get Shareable Link. YOu can then paste that right on your blog.<br />
<br />
2) You can print the document and fill it out by hand. Then take a picture of it or scan it and put the image on your blog.<br />
<br />
Looking forward to working with all of the texts on Monday! Hope you had a good weekend.<br />

<br />
Please note the assignment in the syllabus this week. Rather than having you read all of the texts, I have assigned you each to ONE of the readings this week. Please make sure that you have read carefully and blogged in a very detailed way before you come to class on Monday night. You will be working in a small group to prepare teach the class about your text, and if you are not prepared, you will be unable to participate.<br />
<br />
See you Monday at 5:00!<br />
<br />

<span style="color: #33cc00; font-size: small; font-weight: bold;">CHOOSE A TEMPLATE:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">You will also need to</span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: bold;">choose a design template</span><span style="font-size: small;">
for your blog. Look through the options listed and see what appeals to
you. You can change this later so don't worry too much about it
initially... </span><span style="color: black; font-size: small;"></span>

<span style="color: #33cc00; font-size: small; font-weight: bold;">START POSTING:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Once you have the account set up, you can start posting. A “post” is an entry on your blog. (For clarification, you have one blog, but many posts). Give the post a title and then compose as you would any journal entry. When you are finished, hit the button that says </span><span style="color: #33cc00; font-size: small; font-weight: bold;">Publish</span><span style="color: #33cc00; font-size: small;">.</span><span style="color: #33cc00; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;">It will not appear on your blog until you publish it. You can always go back and edit old posts and create new ones.</span></div>

<span style="color: #33cc00; font-size: small; font-weight: bold;">Your First Post:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: small; font-weight: bold;">Your first post should be a short introduction to you: who are you, what you did over the summer, why you are taking this class, what do you do when you are not in class, etc. </span><span style="color: black; font-size: small; font-weight: bold;">(Just a short paragraph — no big deal). </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: small; font-weight: bold;"><br /></span><span style="color: #33cc00; font-size: small; font-weight: bold;">POST A COMMENT WITH YOUR ADDRESS:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">When you are done creating your site</span><span style="color: black; font-size: small;"> and posting your first entry, please </span><span style="color: black; font-size: small;">come back to this blog</span><span style="color: black; font-size: small;"> and </span><span style="color: black; font-size: small;">post a comment</span><span style="color: black; font-size: small;"> at the end of our first post (scroll down) that includes your blog address so that I can post it in the blog list to the right.</span></div>

<span style="color: #33cc00; font-size: small; font-weight: bold;">Some Tips and Helpful Hints:</span></div>
<ul style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<li style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">Once you are in your blog, look at the top right corner of the screen. If you click on the word </span><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: bold;">DESIGN</span><span style="color: white; font-size: small;">,</span><span style="font-size: small;">
you will be able to make design changes, create new posts, edit old
posts, etc. (You can only do this if you are logged in to your blog.)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Once you are in the </span><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: bold;">DESIGN</span><span style="font-size: small;">
screen, you can do all kinds of things to make your blog a bit more
interesting. Change your fonts and colors, edit a post, change your
settings. See the tabs at the left side of the screen for all kinds of
options.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Poke around online and make a list of websites
related to gender, social justice, feminism or anything else
relevant and post them on your blog. You can add all kinds of things
by <b>ADDING A GADGET</b> from your <b>LAYOUT</b> screen.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Just do the best you can with this. If you get
stuck, don't fret... I am happy to help you anytime as you work on
getting this started. And remember: you can't break it. It is just a
blog. Everything can be changed if need be!</span></li>
</ul>
