Requirements: Each member of this class will create wordpress accounts OR create a new blog within your own pre-existing wordpress account. We will link all of our blogs to the class blog page: FSU Gossip and Gender.



Periodically, you will blog about a specific topic established on the Course blog that is related to the Units of our course. These questions will usually be open ended so you have room to expand on your position about gossip/gender in connection to the questions. Occasionally, the questions will be focused on a event or topic through a links of TV clips for you to apply concepts and react to the content. The catch: You may only use 300 words of text to make your point; therefore, you will also have to incorporate links, media clips, images etc into your blog to support and clearly establish your position. Through the pairing of words, media and images you will learn how to effectively navigate the genre of a blog. Keep in mind, the blog is also a public space, so audience will play an important role in your compositions: I am not your only audience.
