Welcome to ENG 191!

Greetings!

Welcome to ENG 191, better known as Literature and the Arts of Citizenship. I'm your fearless TA, Rachael Hoy. I look forward to getting to know you and working with you throughout the course of the semester. 

Just as "Life moves pretty fast" (as Ferris Bueller says), the semester moves pretty fast too. With that in mind, I have a couple of notes to help get you started. 

During the semester, you'll do two projects in groups. The groups will be the same for each project and the list will be available on the Group Projects tab  as of the second week of class. Since both projects are multimodal, your group will need to set up a blog and e-mail me the link. Instructions for setting up a blog on Blogger are below.

Feel free to e-mail me with any questions you stumble upon along the way.

Setting Up Your Group's Blog

Step 1: Create a Blogger Account for your group and create a new blog for this class. The best way to do this to avoid confusion about who is writing each post/response is to create individual accounts that all share authorship on the blog. To do this, one person will create the blog and invite the other members to be authors via their email addresses. You can do this under the "Settings" tab. While you may not want to use your name as your username, it must either be an identifiable version of your name OR you must sign your posts and responses. 

Step 2: Name your Blog. You can be as creative as you want with the title, but for grading purposes the first part of your blog's name MUST include your group number and somewhere on it should list the names of all your group members.

Step 3: Design your blog. You can be as creative as you want, the only requirement is that you list your group members somewhere on it.
