Dear Class,
Welcome to our
blog for the semester! This is a space to extend our conversation of pop
culture beyond the classroom. You are required to submit a brief post (250 words minimum) each week. Your post can be about anything related to pop culture and
the discussions we're having in class. The posts should be analytical rather
than summary-based. You want to break down and interpret pop culture phenomena
rather than just summarize the content of a film, song, TV show, etc. This is definitely not a place for you to gush
about what you like, or to engage in celebrity gossip. It definitely is a space to record your reactions to
the mass media and entertainment we consume every day.
Sometimes I may
give you specific prompts to respond to, but more often than not, it will be up
to you to choose a topic to write about. Including links to videos, images,
audio clips, etc., is absolutely encouraged. I will check the blog every Monday
afternoon to see if you've completed your post for the week, and commented on
one other post. Remember to be courteous and constructive with all of your
comments!
Have fun!
