Presentation Station

Like I said, don't panic. The reason we spent so much time talking about the project is so that you can break it down, really think about what you want to do for it. Take your time, pace yourself. Start by choosing a book to the left. If you want help picking something, comment on my blog. Really, though, take a few minutes this weekend to choose your book. Look on line. Check out Shelfari, Amazon.com, and Wikipedia to see what people think about them. The most important thing is that you like the book you read. The rest of the project will go well if you put effort into these early choices. And trust me: if you choose your book first, then your topic after you start reading, it will go much better than the other way around. And for the love of whatever you love, read a book you haven't read before. Do yourself a favor and experience something new.

Here are the instructions for Category 4, the Technology section:

Create one of the following. This should be original work manipulating another technology. This may discuss or feature your philosophical issue. For example, if you were to create a blog, it could be a few posts on your findings or the imaginary blog of someone who is dealing with your issue. It could even be a series of reviews of your book, movie, and other citations. Do what you are interested in. I can help with some basic online ways to create blogs, wikis, and websites. Google is your friend. But hey, if you know how to program or you're into filmmaking or writing music, go for it.

We won't spend a lot of time in class on this, but I'll mention the progress frequently. Start those books now. You've got this.
