Week Ten Blog Prompt (Due Friday by Midnight)

[Carl Roach]

Below is the week 10 blog prompt (Don't ignore the instructions on
citing and saving images).

In addition to expanding on your current Webtext, Phase Three also
invites you to compose a 3 - 4 minute audio slideshow, for which you
will write a script, record audio, and use images that will enhance
the spoken word.

Just like the podcast, you should not be repeating yourself in the
slideshow. That is to say, the aspect of your topic that you choose
for your slideshow should be unique to the slideshow. It shouldn't be
repeated in the podcast or in the Webtext. Understand that your
slideshow is an organic component of your Webtext, so it should be
growing out of the Webtext, just like the podcast is.

In this blog response, you are going to identify a topic for your
slideshow.

To do this, refer to your Week Three blog or to the questions your
partner asked you in the Week Five Discussion One posts, or the
questions/changes that your peer review partner offered you in either
of your peer reviews. Since the slideshow is growing out of your
Webtext, it's possble that any of the points you identified in your
Week Three blog could be a potential topic for this slideshow or any
content-related question posed to you about your work this semester
could be a lead in to a slideshow topic.

When you are writing out the ideas for your slideshow, be sure to
include a main point sentence, and also make sure your instructor
knows what the main point is. Also, be specific regarding why the
topic of your slideshow is well-suited to an . audio/visual.
presentation and how it will complement the collaborative project (not
just simply repeating what you, or anyone else has already said).

You need to continue with your semester research in order to write
this blog post. Include at least two new sources to support the claims
you make this in blog. For each source, do the following:

Provide a correct APA style bibliographic entry for each source
Summarize and respond to the piece
Analyze each source for authority, accuracy, currency, and
objectivity.
While you are responding to this blog, it's important to keep in mind
that yes, you will be writing a script, but it's the actual slideshow
that will be an organic component of the project. So while you are
responding to this blog, keep in mind the affordances of both a spoken
word text AND images and how those affordances will help you make your
arguments.

Lastly, find at least two images for your slideshow that you think
represent the topic. You are welcome to change your mind about these
images; the purpose of finding two images right now is to help you
understand how the images will represent the spoken word of your
slideshow. Cite each image APA style. Follow the image saving
guidelines here. Follow the citing guidelines here
