UPDATE: 11.24.08

READING: For next Tuesday's class (12.02.08), please read Scott Russel Sander's essay "The Inheritance of Tools." I will post this on Blackboard later tonight

WRITING: In lieu of class tomorrow, please complete the following writing assignments: 1) Write a 300 word observation of your favorite music video. In addition to embedding the video into your post, please include 2 hyperlinks. This is NOT a re-capitulation of the narrative (if there is one) of the video. You are to focus on the manner in which editing, lighting, audio-video interactions, patterns, etc. construction this hybrid text; 2) Write a 300 reflection on or about the video that includes 1 image (or alternative-related video...NOT the same video as the previous post) and 2 hyperlinks. This post should engage the video, and your relation to it, through "extending" practices. Both of these assignments are due on Tuesday, November 25th @ midnight. (That's tomorrow night.)

Additionally, you will need to write a 300 word rhetorical response to the video you chose that will include 1 image and 2 hyperlinks. Given the scope of this assignment, you will mostly likely only be able to focus on 1 strategy or appeal and demonstrate, using SPECIFIC elements from the video, how it functions within this particular context. DUE: Tuesday, December 2nd @ 2:00PM. (That's the day we get back.)
