1st Semester Projects - We can be heroes, just for one day.

Kids did great. Ralf is super proud.

Just do it

Your blogging assignment is very simple. As all of you have been working very hard on your proyects, you will wrtite an entry (180 worns minimum) where you describe your product, what you have discussed with your team mates, name of the product, and how you all agreed on the chosen product. In your entry you must use INVERSION in conditionals at least twice.

Once you have completed your post, you will send the link for that entry to my mail ralfortiz@gmail.com . Do NOT just send the blog address. Your assignment must be completed to its full extend during class.

WHAT THE BLOG!

What is a blog? Why would you do it? Wouldn't it be just easier to walk on over to the smoking zone a lite up a cigarette? It might be, but how creative is that? Not much, my dear kids, no much.

Many years ago, when I was a college student, I had this little publication, which I made with my friends. We would gather what money we could to buy the paper. We would ask our teachers to give us as much blank paper as they could. As time passed, issues had better content and design. "El Osio" (that was the name of our little endeavour) grew in popularity. The revolution was not going to be televised, it was being printed. or so we thought. Regardless of its innocence, the powers that be crushed our efforts. We were censored, as John Mellencamp sang " I fight Authority, and Authority always wins".

Long gone are the days of the photocopied or stenciled fanzine, the shotty graphics, the running ink, the type writer font. Now we have blogs, cyberspace fanzines. People post freely, unless you want to give away intellectual property... but you can do that too, as many do.

Your assignment is to create a blog and post entries in relation to your;

1. Visits to museums
2. Culinary recommendations, innovations
3. Visits to restaurants,
4. and how to make the best of San Luis Potosí

• Your first be posting should be finished by Friday evening (March 5th), and will deal with your first two visits to museums. As you can guess, you will have to visit EVERY museum in the city. This is an on going project, with weekly postings.
• You postings MUST be published in English, with NO spelling mistakes or grammatical errors, so work carefully.
• Your postings should be informed, and well documented. You must upload images proving you were at each of the places and events.
• You will send me an email to ralfortiz@gmailcom with your link.
• You must follow your classmates blogs and comment on their postings.

As an example I have linked blog for you at thhttp://anthony-bourdain-blog.travelchannel.com/read/im-not-angry?fbid=5CDesbkc637.

There are endless online tutorials on blogging. BE CREATIVE!
