Happy 65th Birthday, Reggie Jackson!

1.         Reminder: I will not have office hours this Thursday (5/19) as I fly out for my conference.

2.         Schedule: These dates below are required. 1/3 of a letter grade will be deducted from your group grade for each day missed.

a.     Wednesday May 11: group work day. Meet on your own. By 4 p.m. that day, please post 1) a draft of your opening text for your Google Map, and 2) the schedule for the rest of your project. Please label your group post as "group draft xx," substituting your class section for "xx".

b.    Monday May 16: bring in drafts of any work that you have gathered so far (raw video/audio footage, images, text) for short workshops.

c.      Wednesday May 18: Google Maps drafting.

d.     Sunday May 22: embed drafts of Google maps to blog and email me individual process notes (following filename requirements) by 10 a.m. To clarify the word count recommendation, the map markers that each person writes individually should be 600-900 words total, not each map marker. For example, if you include 3 map markers, each should be about 200-300 words.

e.     When embedding your map by Sunday, please use the label “map xx” (replacing “xx” with your section number). Please post your map in class today. Then you don't have to post to the blog later. You just need to update the Google Map itself.

3.         Making and embedding Google Maps. Construct grading rubric. Another walk around.
