MIDTERM checkup THIS WEEKEND

You must have a minimum of 5 history posts as well as the post based on your inspiration for Project II by this Friday. Late posts from the above 6 will not be accepted after Friday.

Your self-portrait as well as one component (person, place, or description of departure) from Project II must also be posted by this Friday.

(If your self-portrait has not yet been posted it is already terribly late. It must be posted by Friday to receive any credit.)

PROJECT II: Collaborative Narrativity

Each group member must describe both a place and a character in separate manifestations (separate pages? separate sites? separate animations?) The character must then somehow be placed within the place. The character must depart from this place. The description of this character, place, and action can come in any of the myriad of forms we have discussed so far in class, or something new you might dream up.

The group will then collaborate to create a place where all of the characters will meet. In this place a collision will happen, something will fall and/or break, and the characters will react to this event. Individual attention should be given to the reaction of each character, whether or not the character was involved in the collaboration.
