Writing Workshop Friday; Star Trek & Pop Culture Issues

Lab, Period 1:

Please place any workshop pieces you would like feedback from your workshop groups on in your group's shared folder. Remember to write a note to your peers about what you want them to look at. It is only helpful if you ask for the kind of feedback you need to improve the story, poem, essay, script, etc. If you don't ask, you will not get any feedback (even from me!)

Use your lab time to workshop or continue writing material for your portfolio. See previous posts for prompts/details, etc.

Prompt: choose one of the topics from our brainstorming session and write about the topic. I.E., write about a specific problem or issue relating to trash culture, pop culture, counterculture, fads, progressive evolution, pop or media icons, popular technology, sports/leisure activities/games, music, fashion, food/lifestyle, etc. Keep writing essays, poems, scripts, stories, making documentaries, podcasting, etc. involving the topics you care or are passionate about.

Period 2:

We will pick up where we left off on the Star Trek information, then read/write/respond to today's article.

HOMEWORK: Please read the article on "The internet, Digital Media, and Media Convergence" and answer the questions at the end of the article. Turn in your answers by Thursday, Dec. 14 next week for participation credit. Keep writing pieces for your portfolio. Deadlines have a tendency to creep up on you...!
