Shauna, it's fine if you want to put Paper 3 online already. Make sure it is the correct length when printed out.

Paper #3s Required Length is 6-9 pages double-spaced. 3-5 single-spaced!! These, and your other papers, will be going on the web during the next few weeks so be ready to make them more visually pleasing!

More information on HOW and WHEN you'll put everything online to be discussed on December 3, 2002.

I have a "surprise" to announce in class this morning. Those of you who attend will find out what it is. Those of you that do not attend will need to beg someone to tell you what is up.

Clarifications.

Hypertext is VERY non-linear. VERY unlike how books are put together. But the way I look at them is that they are like those books that ask you at the end of the chapter where you want the story to go and then YOU decide by going to the chapter that coordinates with that (like linking to a new story). Or hypertext could be looked at as simply a maze of stories to follow by jumping on this or that link.

THE CONNECTION to these hypertext writings for you all is this: When you put any writing on the web, it becomes a hypertext writing. When you all put together your online portfolios in Dec... that's what you'll be doing- creating your own hypertext. You can add color and images and things of that sort to a normal, traditional essay.

PAPER #3 is different for you all BECAUSE we've been doing research based stuff. This one is ALL personal. YOU have to simply answer WHO ARE YOU? It is vague, I know, but... just think about it. WHO are you? There are many, many ways to go about doing this:
-Process from past to present like MY draft I had you all read.
-Who are you in terms of adjectives: funny, smart, quirky... etc and place stories with those to SHOW us what you mean.
-Look at some psychology stuff about Freud and the Ego and the Id.. for any of you science people, this may be something fun.
-Look at astrology.. are you a true Sagittarius?
-WHo are you in terms of family.. are you the leader? Are you a leader within in your group of friends then too?

These are just SOME ideas.
