English 658 week 8

In Geoffrey Sirc’s “Boxlogic” I thought that the assignment for the Arcades Project would be a great addition to my lessons for next year, as well. I plan on having the students do the arcades project for my author research assingment. I am going to have them open up their project by having images and other ideas that they develop introducing their author in a general way. Each hyperlink and new page will enable them to organize the required material: early life, historical connections, other author connections, texts written by the author, etc. Not only do I think that this will serve as a great organizational technique for exploring the author that they have chosen, I also feel that this will enable the students who find it easier to connect information using images that they can relate to rather than writing will attempt with more ambition.
