Ivan Denisovich Project

Each individual has a topic and will create a blog post that curates information about that topic; the more information you can provide, the better. 

Each blog post must include:

1. A breadth of quality information about your topic. (How you present the information is up to each individual.) 

2. Pictures of important aspects of your topic. Photos will bring your blog post to life and can reinforce certain aspects you hope to focus on. Pictures must be cited.

3. An embedded video related to your topic- the video should be able to be played within your blog post. For info on how to embed a video click here: embed a video or watch the video below.

4. A minimum of 2 external links- this is the minimum required; the best blog posts will include more than 2 links to insightful, meaningful information about your topic.

5. A works cited section- use MLA format to cite all information you used for your project.

Blog posts are due Thursday, December 11th. 

6. PRESENTATION - Starting Tuesday, December 16 we will be having 5 minute presentations about your topic and how it relates to the novel One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich.  Your presentation should include important talking points, pictures, a video if you like, and how your topic relates to the novel. Remember, your blog will be the tool you use to present- think about that as you create it.

7. Once the blog posts are published, each individual student is responsible for writing a paragraph response (minimum 6 sentences) in the comments section of each blog post excluding your own. This paragraph should focus on what you have learned from exploring each blog and how it relates to Ivan Denisovich.  Do not just repeat information another classmate already said - add on to the content and expand the class' thought.

Comments for each blog are due Tuesday, January 20th.
