Blog this week

1. start your narrative. For this blog, you don't need to count words. You can try an opening paragraph, or maybe write up a "preview" like the previews you see before the main event when you go to the movies. If it would be easier for you to actually film a preview, do that...it doesn't matter, just as long as you make a space for your narrative to grow.

2. Chat on your instant messaging clients, then post to your wiki space click the hypertext for detailed instructions.

3. Wild card: select one paragraph from this wiki, copy and paste into a new space, and revise. Explain your rationale, sight sources, and make links as you see fit. Link as necessary.
