Instructions<\/h2>\r\n

All LAST315 students are \u201cauthors\u201d of the present blog. If you are not, write Tamara via email\/Canvas Inbox with the email address that is associated with your UBC Blog account (see instructions below), and she will add you as a user.<\/p>\r\n

To create a new post, make sure that you are signed in at ubc.blogs.ca. Then, from our LAST315 homepage, click on the \u201c+New\u201d button at the top of the blog (see yellow arrow in screenshot below), which will open a new entry page. You must be signed in to create a new blog post. If you don’t see the “+New” button, go to blogs.ubc.ca and sign in, then come back here and try again.<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n
  1. All students should become authors on the blog no later than September 11 so that you can post an “I am from” poem + bio (Sept 11) and comment on 2 classmates’ poems (Sept 18).<\/li>\r\n
  2. Beyond the “I am from” poem, all students must create three posts on course material in Units 2, 3, and 4. Click +New and compose your post reflecting on one reading or film (see prompt ideas below under \u201cBlog Posts\u201d).<\/li>\r\n
  3. Your posts should not include<\/strong>\u00a0summary and mere observation. You should think critically about the materials for that week, which means you might: make connections across different readings; think about the text in relation to context and the history of the region; posit social norms or power structures that the readings bring to the fore; reflect on key concepts from the reading; etc.<\/li>\r\n
  4. After you\u2019ve written your post, create a short, descriptive title that encapsulates the entry in a few words.<\/li>\r\n
  5. Use heading, font, bulleted lists, etc. strategically to make your post more dynamic.<\/li>\r\n
  6. In the righthand column of your in-progress post, you\u2019ll see an option for tags, which you should use to make your post easier to navigate. You are asked to include a tag for the appropriate unit in the following format: unit1 (no capitalization, no space, no punctuation, no quote marks). You may use other relevant tags as well, such as food item (e.g., amaranth), country, main themes, etc. See Tamara\u2019s sample post for examples.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

    Tamara will create a sample blog post during Week 2 to give you some ideas on how to write a dynamic, conversation-starting post. She looks forward to reading and engaging with your posts, either in writing or during our class discussions.<\/p>\r\n
