If you've looked ahead at the schedule, you've probably noticed that the first "major" writing piece is due 9.11. It's simply labeled "Screwtape Analysis Draft," and I'm asking you to write a literary analysis on a specific aspect of the novel.  For today (besides the reading), please figure out what it means to analyze a piece of literature and post your definition. Use the subject line "Analyzing a Literary Work" (no tinyurl.com/questionsforscrewtape are required because of this replacement).  If you borrow information, you'll need to cite it as well.  Analysis resources are available on the "Writing Tool" page

Please select at least three questions for each day from Questions for Screwtape and post your answers to your blog.  Use the daily chapters as your subject line (i.e. “Chapters I-IV Questions”) and evidence your active reading and critical thinking.  Be sure to copy the questions and answer them using complete sentences and practice proper mechanics.  The posts will be scored directly from the email updates. A limited eText is available if you don’t have your book on hand (or want to easily search for quotes). Please let me know if you have any questions

Design a blubbr (https://www.blubbr.tv/) on "Reality, Rights, and Research" and embed it in your blog with the subject line "Reality, Rights, and Research Trivia."  Your presentation should briefly cover the following information using videos and questions.

• Reality - what is the reality of being safe online?  What standards do you set for yourself?  What kind of digital footprint are you leaving?  What kind of security do you implement?
• Rights - what does copyright mean to you?
• Research -  what does "Information Literacy" mean to you?  How does one find the best research available?

Complete Units 1 and 2 in the assessments for Common Sense Media's Digital Literacy and Citizenship (Grades 9-12).  Read the directions and enter your name and my email address.  When you finish, view your results and email them using the website's email feature.  Don't stress about getting all the answers right - I'm using these assessments as an overview and to gauge your understanding of the topics presented.  You only need a 70% to "pass" each unit, and beyond that is additional credit.

Additional notes:

• The final results only report your first answer
• Unit 1 - in addition to the material in Unit 1, watch “Copyright Law.” And the "Feeling on Display" video (question 16) has content that is not endorsed by the instructor or Hanalani Schools and should be treated with discretion
• Unit 2 - in addition to the material in Unit 2, watch “Sexting”

August 13

Additional notes:

• Unit 4 - in addition to the material in Unit 4, watch “Online Targeting and Tracking”
