Purpose & Audience
Use our course WordPress Blog to compose critical and creative responses to course concepts and texts. You will have author access to our course blog, which will allow you to create and publish your own blog posts. These posts will be public, and you are expected to read and engage directly with the writing your classmates publish by commenting on their work. You will compose 3 blog posts this semester (during weeks 2, 5, and 9), and each post should be approximately 500–600 words. Moreover, you should make full use of the multimedia design tools offered in the blog interface (styles, colors, images, videos, etc.). During the weeks that blog posts are due, you should read and respond to at least 4 other posts. In other words, at least 4 substantive, constructive comments.

Deadlines
You will complete a blog post (and peer comments) during weeks 2, 5, and 9. Check our course calendar for specific dates. During the weeks that blog posts are due, you can use the following benchmarks: Your blog post will always be due on Wednesday, and your comments to your classmates will always be due on Friday.
Evaluation Criteria
Effective and creative blog posts will help us unpack specific weekly texts, engage larger issues and concepts related to gender, build our class community, and initiate conversation through meaningful questions. For a more detailed explanation of how your blog work will be evaluated, carefully read the Blog Scoring Guide.
