agenda, 11.24

today

concluding Infinite Detail: 

create a GoogleDoc in the Infinite Detail folder

search #InfiniteDetail on Twitter for folks sharing what they think are examples (or evidence) of what the novel grapples with

select one that your group finds particularly compelling and research it for a little bit (dig a little deeper than the original tweet)

evolve this example (speculate upon its future) not in the vein of paranoia or as even a critique of the sinister human actors lurking in the shadows, but in terms of what trajectories or tendencies lurk within the thing itself?

for next time

thanksgiving break: no class

due (12.2): process log #3

prepare: multimedia project focus groups: prepare a public Google Form containing at least 5 specific questions you want answered about your project. Email me the public link to your form before class Monday. Ask questions (taking advantage of the question types available in Google Forms) that will help you revise and complete your project. Questions such as (but not limited to):

What does the title suggest the composition is about arguing?

What features or information does my composition not address that you would like to know more about?

If you could choose a feature of this composition to eliminate, what would you choose and why?

If you could choose a feature of this composition to develop further, what would you choose and why?

How does the background music change the way you interpret the narrative/images, if at all?

Would you describe the pace of my composition as: a) too slow, b) slow, c) average, d) fast, e) too fast? How does this pace effect your response to my argument?

Avoid yes or no questions.

For each round, quickly describe your purpose, medium and audience and then choose one these items (or even a mix of two) to discuss:
