Brit Lit CPI: No Red Ink and Storytelling

Today you'll be in Ms. Boisselle's capable hands.

You'll start with using NoRedInk.com  There you will find a new pre-quiz.  Take it.

You will also find three new assignments.  If you score less than a 90% on the pre-quiz?  Complete them.

After this, you will be sketchnoting and/or infographic creating.   Your topic?  According to the sources provided,  and others you might look up on your own, what are the vital components of effective storytelling?  

Here's one such source.

Here's the link to the others.  There are many and I don't recommend going through them in order. 

Your sketchnote and/or infographic should include at least three components and no more than six.   The intention there is to really focus on what is key -- rather than every piece of advice out there.

If you want to create an infographic, I recommend using http://piktochart.com/ to do your work.

This is due today in class.

When you complete it, you have the rest of the class to finish your Portland Tale which is due on Thursday.

HOMEWORK.

Humanities: Empathy, Story & Blogging

We started today by reviewing the "Empathy, Sympathy or Something Else" article and thinking that folks were asked to complete for today.  We spent a lot of time on empathy and how it is unique from sympathy.

That led into looking at our blogging rubric

We talked at length about these expectations.  A lot of length.  We didn't get a chance to blog today.

We'll fix that on Tuesday.

HOMEWORK.
