Happy 65th Birthday, Reggie Jackson!
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.

1. Reminder: I will not have office hours this Thursday (5/19) as I fly out for my conference. I have normal office hours (11 – 4) on Tuesday (5/17.)

For example, if you include 3 map markers, each should be about 200-300 words.
3. In groups, set up any materials that you want to display for feedback. Do so on more than one computer. For example, if you have video that you want people to watch/listen to, put that on one computer. If you have text that you want people to read, put that on another computer (everyone should display their introductory text). On each computer, open up a word processing document for people to leave notes, questions, and suggestions for your work. One person from each group should stay with the computer while the other group members examine projects.
4. Walk around and look at each other’s group projects. Please talk to the individual for each group and give feedback, ask questions, answer questions, and so forth.
5. Work in groups as needed.
Introduction: Jared, Adriana, Ryan, and Sara
There is an ever-growing discontent with the current paradigm that is continuously pushing the limits of societal conventions. This discontent is largely concentrated in today’s college students. College students are known for their desire for change, their constant and persistent movements towards making the world, and their school, what they want it to be. At the University of Denver, it is no different, and students are fighting battles around campus for the changes they want to see, and against the ones they don’t. The ever-lasting battle has recently been intensifying on the DU campus, as opinions of students and those of the administration collide. This project examines different “hotspots” where movements and initiatives are beginning to take form. It is our hope that through this project, readers begin to understand the revolutionary mindset of today’s college students that leads to their overwhelming acceptance to paradigmatic change.
