1. There are still some missing grades. I have asked people to send papers in to me if you do not have a grade for it. You won’t be able to get any feedback for revision if you do not send in the papers. Further, you will not get any credit for the 10% that each individual paper represents.
2. In-class work. I’m giving everyone a bonus day of in-class work. Think of it as extra credit.
3. Google Maps: Did some groups embed the map more than once? If so, please remove one of them. You should only have one map on the blog. You do not need to re-embed the map if you make changes to the Map. The changes will be reflected in the blog without you re-embedding.
4. Revision exercises.
a. Brief look at my C&W example. Stages of revision.
b. “Revision Exercises for Final Drafts”. In-class writing for today. Choose one of the main bullets on the list (“Thesis/Main Claim” or “Analysis”). Examine one of your projects that you would like to revise. How might you revise your project with either of those main bullets in mind? Write up approximately 150 words and post to the blog. Please label your posting with “sec xx”, (replacing “xx” with your section number).
5. Read 2 sample portfolio introductions for Wednesday’s class. They are on the blog. Click on the “Example” label on the left for you to download them.
6. Process note for group project due by start of class on Wednesday. Please follow the proper filename requirements when sending in the note.
7. Course evaluations.
1. Make sure all students will have access to a computer the day the evaluation process will take place in class.
2. Have students log into webCentral (http://webcentral.du.edu). They will need their DU ID and Passcode in order to do this.
3. Have students click on the Courses tab.
4. Have students click on the gray button labeled Fill out evaluations in the upper right corner.
5. Have students click on the button labeled Online Evaluation next to the course they are evaluating.
6. Have students complete the form and submit. Upon submitting, students will be taken to a page that confirms successful submission of the evaluation.

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.

Frank Gehry
He is a winner of the Pritzker Prize, a major accomplishment for an architect. His style of architecture is ‘abstract’ and does not conform to the norms as established by most traditional architects. His creative process is what truly sets him apart from other individuals in his field. He works from the inside out when designing a structure. Likewise I plan to construct my work by deciding on its ‘interior’ (content) and leaving the organization till a later part of the revision process. His structures also have elements in them that reflect a part of his identity. For example, his use of curved panels that appear to resemble sails reflecting his love for sailing. I would also do well to incorporate more of my personal views and style into my writing during the revision process.
Lupe Fiasco
He is a Grammy award winning hip- hop artist known for his witty and meaningful lyrics. By examining his songwriting process, I believe there is a significant amount I can learn from him. He typically writes only after he has music (or a tune). This is important because it sets the scope for the lyrics of the songs to be developed upon. In my own writing, I hope to set the scope effectively first before embarking on any extensive writing to ensure that my piece is effective and useful to readers. Like Fiasco, I do most of my best work in weird locales and manners. I feel that every individual has a unique environment where they are able to write their best work. For this piece I plan to explore new places to do my writing and observe its impact on my work.
Laura & Kate Mulleavy
They are the founders of the LA based label Rodarte and are widely regarded as two of the fashion industry’s newest talents. They start a collection by discussing ideas and then by encapsulating these ideas into images to help create a ‘feeling’. Although I am not a very visual person, for this project I plan to include more imagery in my work. I would like to grow as a writer by expanding my techniques, and as they say “a picture is worth a thousand words” and I hope by minimizing text where it is not required I hope to maximize the effect it will have on the readers.

D.I.Y. New York City
This project focuses on the “Do It Yourself” counterculture movement taking place in the streets of New York. This project clearly maps out some of the most important locations of this influential movement by focusing on those locations that are related to the actual culture of counterculture. This includes food, activities and music. By displaying events related to the movement, the author makes it very easy for the reader to gain exposure to the movement. As a project, it is very
straightforward and provides some very good insight into the D.I.Y. movement.
Final Project by Hope Marion
The focus of this project seems to be lacking. While the CIY project was very easy to follow and to figure out the focus, this paper is not as direct with its theme. The mapping is done correctly, and if you look for the theme you can find it, (It IS art and architecture right?) but this is definitely a much weaker project that the DIY one.
Come Together
This project also lacks an obvious theme despite being similar to the DIY project. It too examines a culture by exploring the food, entertainment, and music associated with it (also in NY city). One thing that DOES make this project effective is the use of photos as a visual aid. I would rank this one between the two previous ones.
Modern Gomorrah
This project certainly centers on the main theme of the course: art. This project highlights locations that influence art culture such as film, music and art. The research and description of every location was very extensive which definitely adds to the piece. It’s an easy project to follow with an obvious theme and one I would aim to emulate in my final project.

Oka: Mapping the local: In class writing
1. DIY New York City Project
Cristina Naccarato’s project revolves around the locations where D.I.Y. activities take place. She used thumbtacks to mark out these venues and went into great detail about each venue, and its significance. The excerpts included had a sufficient amount of quoted material from the sources they used. I enjoyed how much detail she included with regards to the venues specifically her piece on the “Renegade Craft Fair” which I found reminded me very much of the scrap booking culture that is emerging in Singapore. Despite the colorful visual imagery, I do not find this approach to be significantly better than a well - written paper.
2. Final Project by Hope Marion
The first thing I noticed about Hope’s project, were the colorful thumbtacks she used to mark her points of interest on the map. She delves into a great depth about the buildings she marked. Her project is aimed primarily at discussing the structure, and the atmosphere inside them.
3. Come Together NYC
This group’s project was, like the previous two, located in the city of New York. Their project was centered on the arts: with the landmarks being museums, galleries as well as restaurants. The amount of descriptions included by the writers was significant and were effective in helping me to understand more about the project. The one possible weakness is probably the lack of variety with regards to the type of events. They compensated for this by including more details and placing more importance on the quality and depth of their research as opposed to spreading their resources too thin.
4. Modern Gomorrah
This project covered several religious landmarks that are significant to him. I feel that this is an odd project to undertake, as religion is a controversial issue that is hard to research effectively given the variety and amount of history and information associated with it. Having said that however, I felt that they did a good job of including landmarks from differing religious views to ensure that they did not appear bigoted. While this was a hard task, I would certainly be extremely interested in trying to undertake a project of a similar nature.
The overall sense I get from this project is that it is a complex project that will require a significant amount of teamwork, as well as effort on the part of every individual. The hardest part will be agreeing on a single topic to base out research on. Although I have not done any project that is similar to this in any way, it should be an interesting and meaningful learning experience that will help me add to my repertoire of writing skills.

Grencik_Mapping the local
The D.I.Y New York City takes an in-depth look at the punk/pop underground culture of New York city. The author of this attends different venues/concerts around an area of New York City and why it's so important to their culture. This is an effective way of reporting my final project because of the pictures that help emphasize the author's description of the venue (the pictures really show what the author means, as words can create a lot of different images in the readers head). They also include the introduction as a brief summary of what's to come.
The "Final project" is not as open on their description of what exactly they're examining in New York City. I really liked in the previous one how the author provided a brief introduction as to what he/she was going to talk about, however, this one lacked that. They did not include pictures, but overall the writing is well done. This overall theme is based on the different culture in New York City.
"Come Together" also does not include an introduction. This overall theme again examines the culture by going to different restaurants, museums and music venues to help describe New York City. It briefly discusses the history of that specific area of NYC and incorporates photos to help involve the reader and put them there. This is an effective project and I would use it.
"Modern Gomorrah" focuses again on the culture of this particular area of NYC. There is no introduction like in D.Y.I to help give the reader an idea of what is to come. The author went to the main points of culture, such as restaurants, theaters, museums, etc. It does an effective job of placing you there by including pictures and sharing first hand experiences as with most of the other projects. For the most part I believe that this is an effective writing piece (just lacking the introduction).

Qualitative peer critique
Peer Critique – Qualitative Project
- Exchange documents, either electronically or on paper.
- Before the reviewer reads the paper, the author should tell the reviewer which aspects of the writing the author feels are her or his weakest. These could be any of a number of aspects from the “Motivations for Revision” list that I posted last week.
- For the review process, read through the draft one time to get an idea of the paper. After the first read, go through again and be ready to make comments. Be sure to focus on the aspects that the author asked you to focus on, but make sure you note any time you find the writing to be confusing or incomplete. For example, the author may make an assertion about the validity of their data but offer no compelling reason for why they made the claim they did. Point this out to the author and offer a possibility for how to correct the problem.
- In addition to reading for points 2 and 3 above, be sure respond to all the points below:
- Remember, point to specific portions of the writing in your response.
- Finally, please leave time to have a discussion with your peer. Allow for follow-up questions.
What is the overarching research question or hypothesis to which the author responds? If the research question is not clear, suggest how the writer should clarify the question?
How clearly has the author described her or his method? How can you (the reader) tell that the method seems reliable, consistent, and ethical? Have shortcuts been taken in the development of methods that make the conclusion(s) seem suspect? Is the method appropriate for what the author investigates?
Are the results appropriate to support the conclusions drawn? In other words, can you accept the author’s discussion and interpretation of the results based on her or his writing?
Describe the effectiveness of the discussion/analysis section, paying particular attention to how the author interprets the result as opposed to merely summarizing them.
What questions arise upon reading through the piece? Should these questions be addressed in the current work, or might these questions be considered as implications for further research?
Who seems to be the audience in this piece?
How well does the author’s process note describe the writer’s composing process for this paper?

In addition to the comments that I’ve already provided for you, what other work should you do in order to strengthen your first draft? For instance, how might you write for a new audience? Or how might you revise for a more aesthetic piece? Or by incorporating new information? Brainstorm for 5 minutes how you would include one of the “Motivations for revision” then chat in small groups about your ideas. I will give feedback and suggestions as well.
3. Reminder: Submission problems and changes. Comments not working well on PDFs; new version of Scribd not allowing me to download .doc(x) files. So, I’m getting back to people as soon as possible with the grade, but you do have my comments. After reading through several papers, I think emailing papers will make more sense. Other projects may still require posting through the blog, and we will deal with those individually. Further, revised grade of the first paper will replace first grade on first draft.
